FRIENDS OF UTOKYO INC

Friends of UTokyo, Inc. (FUTI) is a New York–registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization, operated principally by alumni of the University of Tokyo to support education, research, and international exchange. The organization raises and administers scholarships and donor-funded awards that enable UTokyo students and alumni to study in the United States and U.S. students to engage with UTokyo programs. In recent years FUTI has expanded its scholarship offerings (adding mid- and long-term scholarship support beginning in 2022) and serves as administrator for several named scholarship funds. The organization maintains an active web presence, publishes annual reports, and files regular Form 990 returns, showing growth in contributions and net assets across the 2021–2025 period. FUTI is governed by an active board and advisory committee composed largely of UTokyo alumni and academic and professional leaders in the New York area, and it continues to partner with the University of Tokyo New York Office and corporate and individual donors to fund scholarships and exchange initiatives.
