Toshiba International Foundation (TIFO) offers applications for grants for FY 2021. While the COVID-19 situations still remain uncertain and unforeseeable, you are cordially invited to consider an application for grants.
Eligibility Criteria:
Applicants:
- Non-profit organizations capable of performing the proposed project that has or will have a bank account in its officially registered name into which to receive the grant.
- Applicants who have received support for three consecutive years become ineligible to receive support for a fourth year under the same program. This measure enables TIFO to extend support to as many applicants as possible by de-emphasizing repeated long-term funding to the same recipients. Other than exceptional projects where TIFO finds compelling reasons for continued support for over three years, a guiding principle of TIFO’s grant policy is not to award grants for four consecutive years. While we do not regard such applications as ineligible, they are much less likely to receive support.
Project:
- Projects that meet Project Categories/ Areas for Grant
- For multi-year projects of up to three years duration, the Selection Committee will evaluate the project each year and decide whether or not TIFO will continue to extend support.
※ The following are ineligible and will not be accepted.
- Applications from individuals
- Application for expenses to stay in Japan for an extended period
Project Areas:
TIFO supports projects that promote understanding of Japan, and divides them into the following four categories:
● Symposia and seminars.
● Cultural programs.
● Research and studies.
● Programs that train students who will promote international understanding of Japan.
Grant Size and Duration :
- TIFO grant amounts are determined on the basis of specific estimate contained in applications, and we expect grant funds are not to be used to pay for any costs other than those expressly detailed in the application. The entire award founded in the amount of grant for the project must be used for the stated project purpose only.
- Projects, or a discrete part of a continuing project, that can be completed within one fiscal year (April 1st of one year to March 31st of the following year), with the provision that funding for discrete parts of a continuing project will be eligible for funding for a maximum of three consecutive years.Retrieved From: https://www.toshibafoundation.com/apply/grantsapplication.html on 15/10/2020
