The Retired Leaders Fund provides long-term financial support to Tomoe Katagiri, widow of Hokyōji founder Dainin Katagiri. To that end, the fund committee organizes and conducts an annual pledge campaign and monitors both the amount and status of pledges made and fulfilled and the level of support Tomoe-san needs. Existing donors receive a yearly reminder of their pledges, and the support base is expanded as new donors are identified and contacted about opportunities for giving. Committee delegates meet regularly with Tomoe-san to review her needs and ensure an adequate level of financial support.
