In one of their final grants before they closed in December, The Hitachi Foundation awarded the National Fund $500,000 to support its work with businesses in producing good jobs and building prosperous communities. The grant will support National Fund operations with a focus on increasing the number of companies that build elements of job quality into their business strategy.
The Hitachi Foundation was one of the National Fund’s first supporters, and we are thankful to be one of its final grantees. The Hitachi Foundation focused on business practices that improved economic opportunities for low-wealth individuals in the United States and enhanced long-term business value, and the National Fund plans to continue this important work.
