About JTB GOODWILL FOUNDATION

JTB Goodwill Foundation is a Hawai‘i‑based 501(c)(3) public charity (established 1983) that advances cultural and educational exchange between Hawai‘i, Japan and the Asia–Pacific region. The foundation primarily supports scholarships for hospitality and tourism students, event‑based fundraising, and community relief efforts. In recent years the foundation has continued scholarship endowments and local relief fundraising, and appears active in community events organized by JTB Hawaii (for example, charity collections associated with the Honolulu Rainbow EKIDEN and an annual golf tournament). The organization files Form 990s with the IRS and reports mid‑six‑figure revenues and roughly half‑million dollars in assets on its most recent public filings.
