Kuraray Foundation of America, Inc. will consider charitable contributions to eligible non-profit organizations and academic institutions with priority consideration given to organizations serving in or near U.S. communities where Kuraray Group companies have a major presence.

As we believe that leveraging our financial contributions with the volunteer talents of our employees leads to stronger, more vibrant relationships in the surrounding communities, we give preference to projects that include employee involvement.

  • Individuals (excluding disaster relief funding)
