Mitsubishi International Corporation Foundation Changes Name To Mitsubishi Corporation Foundation For The Americas
(CSRwire) NEW YORK, NY - November 27, 2007 - The Mitsubishi International Corporation
Foundation has changed its name to the Mitsubishi Corporation Foundation
for the Americas. The new name was adopted to better reflect Mitsubishi
Corporation's consolidated management strategy and the fact that all of
the funding comes directly, or indirectly, from Mitsubishi Corporation,
for environmental causes throughout the Americas. The Mitsubishi
Corporation Foundation for the Americas, based in New York City, was
established as the Mitsubishi International Corporation Foundation in 1991
with funding from Mitsubishi Corporation of Japan, and its U.S.-based
subsidiary, Mitsubishi International Corporation. With a current
endowment of $6 million, the Foundation has dedicated nearly $4 million to
environmental causes throughout the Americas.
MCFA's sister fund, the Mitsubishi Corporation Fund for Europe and Africa,
supports environmental education and conservation in throughout Europe, and
has given more than $2 million in grants since 1993.
