About the Founding of CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing)

CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is made possible by an innovative partnership between CRS and the "Center for Remembering & Sharing."

In 2004 the noted Japanese writer and spiritual counselor/teacher/healer Yasuko Kasaki incorporated CRS as a for-profit company in the state of New York in order to support the teaching of A Course in Miracles, the practice of the healing and creative arts, and the sharing of miracles. The decision to incorporate CRS as a for-profit allowed Ms. Kasaki to rent and prepare office/studio space right away without first having to spend years establishing a track-record of donor support and stability. While its work is educational and humanitarian in nature, CRS' for-profit status allows it to pursue its mission with flexibility and nimbleness lacking in the not-for-profit world. Rather than depend on donations, foundation support, and public funding, Ms. Kasaki elected instead to invest the earnings from her own successful career to create a center for and with her students and clients to further their growth.

Ms. Kasaki's primary partner in this venture was and is Christopher Pelham, founder and director of the 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization the Center for Remembering & Sharing. The Center's mission is essentially the same as CRS' (though necessarily more restrictive), and its non-profit status allows it to accept tax-deductible donations and to apply for grants to fund activities that support their common mission such as:

• organizing educational and community-building events that encourage the exchange of ideas and experience such as Art Talks;
• providing residencies for artists;
• commissioning new artistic works;
• curating, producing and publishing exhibitions, performances, and written/recorded works;

The Center for Remembering & Sharing is a member of the Asian American Arts Alliance, A.R.T./New York, Dance Theatre Workshop (DTW), The Field, and Nonprofit Coordinating Committee of New York, and is a recipient of support from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Materials for the Arts, NYC Dept of Cultural Affairs/NYC Dept of Sanitation/NYC Dept of Ed., the J P Morgan Chase SOAR Program of the Asian American Arts Alliance. The Center is also sponsored by the vintage clothing store Doggy's World.
