THE BANDAI FOUNDATION
The Bandai Foundation is a non-profit organization committed to supporting charities that improve the environment in which American families and children live and play. Through charitable donations and gifts, the Bandai Foundation provides executive leadership and corporate sponsorship to community-based projects and programs throughout the United States that focus on the health and welfare of children.
The Bandai Foundation was established in 1995 by Bandai America as a way to give back to the community that has made its products so successful in the United States.
Bandai America is a contributor to the Toy Industry Association's Toy Bank, the first industry-wide program of its kind. The program services charities in North America so that underprivileged, homeless and at-risk children can obtain newly manufactured toys. Since the inception of The Bandai Foundation we have donated nearly $5,000,000 to various causes which include: American Cancer Association (Pediatrics) – OC Chapter, Boy Scouts of America, Boys & Girls Club of Cypress, City of Hope, Community Action Partnership, Friends of Cypress Recreation and Parks, Girls Scouts Council of Orange, National Center for Family Homelessness, Ronald McDonald House of So. Cal (OC Chapter), Second Harvest Food Bank, St. Jude’s Hospital, Starlight Starbright, and the Toy Industry Foundation. For 2010, our cause of choice is pediatric diabetes and special consideration will be given for requests that support this cause.
Requests for donations from The Bandai Foundation will only be accepted via mail. Please download the attached Charitable Request Form and follow the instructions contained on the form. Due to the high volume of inquiries, we will only contact your organization if your request is being considered. Thank you for your interest.
