KFA is committed to creating change within Kuraray’s communities and shaping the diverse workers of tomorrow by leveraging the power of Kuraray’s culture. KFA funds a broad range of projects that promote a greater cultural understanding between the employees of both the United States and Japan.

KFA supports many educational projects but is especially interested in supporting K-12 programs that enhance STEM skills. It is our belief that providing students with opportunities to develop these skills could lead them to an interest in technical careers in the future.
