Machiko no Ishi is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
IMPORTANT
A Simple, Transparent Use of Support
We seek to generate interest in our program among many people and organizations and hope that our efforts will lead to individual donations, corporate sponsorships, and grants that will make this foundation sustainable over the years to come.
We understand that many people are cautious about supporting new or unfamiliar charities. That caution is reasonable, and we respect it. Machiko no Ishi was intentionally designed to be simple, transparent, and easy to understand. Every contribution we receive is used to provide lifelike plush Maltese companions to hospice and palliative care patients-covering the cost of the plush, packaging, and delivery. There are no complex programs, no intermediaries, and no layers of administration.
Our work is modest by design. We focus on doing one thing carefully and well, and on being straightforward about how support is used. Donors can give with confidence knowing that their contribution directly supports patient comfort.
In a landscape of large and complex organizations, Machiko no Ishi remains intentionally small, focused, and clear in purpose.
Can you help us? It would mean the world to us and to hospice patients.

Our lifelike plush Maltese companions bring warmth and solace to many hearts.
If you'd like one for yourself, a loved one, or as a memorial gift, you can receive the same beautifully packaged plush as a thank-you gift for a suggested donation of $100.
Your donation of $100 covers the cost of the Maltese stuffie + shipping + handling and allows us to provide gentle comfort to more hospice and palliative care patients.
Thank you for helping us honor Machiko’s Legacy
Your $100 donation is fully tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, as Machiko no Ishi is a qualified 501(c)(3) organization (FEIN 41-3094039). Please note that the fair market value of the plush Maltese toy received as a thank-you gift is approximately $35. You may deduct only the amount that exceeds this value ($65) as a charitable contribution. Consult your tax advisor for details.
