Japan Foundation Center http://www.jfc.or.jp/eibun/e_index.html A private foundation established by executives of private grant-making foundations in Japan (1) to provide authoritative information on foundations in Japan that award grants, prizes, or scholarships and (2) to publicize the social role and significance of the activities of private grant-making foundations to encourage the practice of philanthropy in Japan's private sector. In recent years,the grant-making activities of private foundations have increased in Japan, and these activities now attract public attention. The grant-making activities of private foundations have not yet gained wide public recognition,however, because of the lack of publicly available information on these activities. The Japan Foundation Center therefore serves as a source of up-to-date information on grant-making foundations and their grant programs and makes this information available to grant seekers,grant makers,and the public at large. Be sure to check out the Japanese Foundation links. (Last checked 11/05/03)

Star Media Foundation Tackles Digital Divide in Central and South America http://www.nasvf.org/web/allpress.nsf/0/d5f38c632980c47a86256a9000439854?OpenDocument Latin Americans tend to hand out charitable donations through companies, rather than in a personal capacity, because the tax system does not encourage philanthropy. The Star Media Foundation, created two years ago, aims to narrow the digital divide by providing education and technological training for the have-nots. If it succeeds in its aim, then Star Media benefits too. This strikes Mr Espuelas as a win-win situation. "Our goal is to create conditions in which it is possible to be profitable. Lifting people out of poverty is good for society, and so is having profitable companies." (Last checked 11/05/03)
