The Mitsui U.S.A. Foundation aims to manifest Mitsui USA’s good corporate citizenship by enhancing education and life quality in communities where it operates. This entails backing initiatives that promote education, community welfare, the arts, and culture, including international education and U.S.-Japan exchanges.
The grant focuses on supporting over 50 initiatives across the U.S. in four main areas: Education, Community Welfare, Arts & Culture, and Employee Matching & Volunteerism. A significant emphasis is placed on education, particularly in granting college scholarships, facilitating study abroad programs, hosting forums, and funding Japan-specific research. Additionally, about 40% of the foundation's efforts target community welfare projects, especially those aiding disabled individuals, at-risk children, seniors, and initiatives targeting hunger relief.
