The Culver City Community Scholarship Fund will give twelve new scholarships in 2015, thanks to a $6,000 grant from the Bandai Foundation, a nonprofit organization established by Bandai, the Japanese toy and video game company, as a way to give back to the community that has made its products successful in the United States.
Each year the Bandai Foundation accepts grant applications from qualified 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations that support children. This year the Bandai Foundation focused its efforts on a campaign dedicated to organizations that promote positive changes in the lives of youth at risk and address the systematic and practical challenges the youth and families face. Special consideration was given to grant applications that share The Bandai Foundation’s 2014 mission.
The award was presented at the annual “Time For Giving” celebration on November 18th at the Bandai America headquarters in Cypress, CA. Scholarship Fund Board members Margaret Fujisawa, Michael Laase and Karen Pyenson attended the ceremony.
