Keiretsu Forum Charitable Foundation

“The Smarter You Give, The Greater The Gift”

The members of the Keiretsu Forum have founded a non-profit counterpart, the Keiretsu Forum Charitable Foundation to encourage charitable giving among members and friends of the Keiretsu Forum. The Keiretsu Forum Charitable Foundation elevates the awareness of giving within the Keiretsu Forum and supports the causes with which its members are actively involved.


In 2004, I challenge every Keiretsu Forum member to take an active role in the Keiretsu Forum Charitable Foundation. Your participation can take many forms including donations of time and money, participation in the Keiretsu Forum Charitable Foundation outings for charity, participation in the Keiretsu Forum Charitable Foundation golf tournament and bringing a charity for which you have a passion, to the group. If you're not involved in helping charitable organization, 2004 is a great year to get started and adopt one. Our work through the foundation helps people that are less fortunate than us and makes the world a better place in which to live.

All the best,
Tom Dowd
Chair, Keiretsu Forum Charitable Foundation
