Its stated purpose is to “improve the quality of life for economically isolated people in the United States and to help Hitachi learn how to better fulfill its responsibilities as a corporate citizen doing business in North America.” The Hitachi Foundation capitalizes “The” in its name as its official title. The foundation concentrates its efforts and funds into three umbrella programs, with numerous projects operating under each one: the Business and Communities Grants Program, the Hitachi Community Action Partnership, and the Yoshiyama Award for Exemplary Service to the Community.
