Who is The Nippon Foundation?
The Nippon Foundation (Nippon is the Japanese word for Japan) was founded in 1962 as the Japan Shipbuilding Industry Foundation, a private, non-profit organization devoted to promoting shipping and shipbuilding and to preventing marine hazards. The Foundation was established by legislation that set aside 3.3 percent of the revenues from the motorboat racing industry to be used for philanthropic purposes.
Those funds have created one of the largest philanthropic organisations in the world, one which supports projects in Japan and overseas - in more than 120 countries around the world.
The Nippon Foundation is a grant-making organization and works with non-profit organizations, governmental and non-governmental organizations, and international organizations. The Foundation teams up with the most knowledgeable and motivated partners and helps them to what they can do best.
The school wants to express our sincere and deepest gratitude to The Nippon Foundation for their support.
