History
The Tokyo Foundation for Policy Research was founded on July 1, 1997, as the “Global Foundation for Research and Fellowship” with donations from the Japanese Shipbuilding Industry Foundation (now the Nippon Foundation) and Japan’s boat-racing industry following authorization by the Minister of Transport (now the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport).
We became the “Tokyo Foundation” in May 1999 to give a clearer regional orientation to our policy research and leadership development activities and emerged as a public interest incorporated foundation on April 1, 2010, following authorization by the Cabinet Office in March 2010. Building on two decades as Japan’s preeminent think tank, we renamed ourselves “The Tokyo Foundation for Policy Research” in February 2018 as our next step in our evolution into a world-class institute of policy research.
