The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation is the UK’s leading charity supporting links between Britain and Japan. 

The Foundation was created in 1988 with a generous donation from Daiwa Securities. Its headquarters is at Daiwa Foundation Japan House in London and its Tokyo Office administers the Foundation’s activities in Japan. 

The Foundation’s aims are: 

• to enhance the UK’s and Japan’s understanding of each other’s people and culture

• to enable British and Japanese students and academics to further their education through exchanges and co-operation

• to make grants available to individuals and organisations to promote links between the UK and Japan at all levels.

The Foundation carries out its work principally through the Daiwa Scholarships, grant-giving and an events programme focused on enhancing links between the UK and Japan.
