SCOA Foundation Funds Aid To the Victims of Recent Natural Disasters
T
he SCOA Foundation, the charitable organization established by Sumitomo Corporation of America to further its philanthropic activities, is no stranger to disaster relief efforts. In 2010, the Foundation had already contributed more than $500,000 to over 30 organizations including contributing thousands of dollars to assistance programs for both the Haiti and Chile earthquake victims. Then, the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan occurred, giving SCOA a unique challenge; the American subsidiary would now be supporting relief efforts to help its parent company’s homeland during the most devastating natural disaster in the country’s history.
