The Marubeni Foundation (Chairman: Takeshi Mamiya) has finalized the list of grant recipients for social welfare initiatives for FY2026 (the 52nd round of grants).
The applications were deliberated based on various factors, such as activity status, concrete outcome of the project, and degree of urgency. Special consideration was given to projects which are outside the general scope of governmental reach in order to leverage the unique benefits of these being private sector funds.
The Marubeni Foundation was established in 1974 and has continued to provide grants to an annual total of 100 million yen since 1975, expanded to a maximum of 300 million yen starting in 2024. Financing for grants is primarily comprised of financial contributions from Marubeni and income from asset management; donations by individuals to the 100 Yen Club, a fundraising organization with a voluntary membership comprised of Marubeni Corporation and Marubeni Group executives, employees, and alumni, which are then matched by donations made by Marubeni Corporation; and Marubeni Gallery admission proceeds. The Marubeni Group and the Marubeni Foundation will continue to work towards the realization of a society which embodies the idea that “where there are people, there are dreams.”
