The TCU Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity established to support Tokyo Christian University’s (TCU; 東京基督教大学) educational and research programs. TCU rests in a park-like setting and “green zone” city between Narita International Airport and downtown Tokyo. The university is committed to the evangelical principles of historical Christianity, inter-denominational collaboration, practical theological education, and a missional outlook that is both local and global.
Through its endowment and donations, the TCU Foundation supports grants and scholarships to TCU students (both Japanese and international), as well as grants to support faculty and staff development; donates towards TCU’s construction and renovation projects; assists TCU faculty and staff with the recruitment of students, and supports activities of TCU alumni in North and South America. The fundraising supports students’ future Christian missions across Asia and beyond.
