OREANDA-NEWS. April 10, 2015. To support post-earthquake recovery, the fund made donations to three nonprofit organizations that respectively provide services for mental health, learning, and safe and comfortable play areas for orphans and other children affected by the earthquake. Cumulative donations for this purpose have now surpassed 100 million yen, or about 830,000 US dollars, over the past four years.

The Mitsubishi Electric SOCIO-ROOTS Fund, the company's signature initiative in the field of social welfare, was established in April 1992 as one of Japan's first matching-fund corporate initiatives. Open to all Mitsubishi Electric personnel in Japan, it has encouraged employees nationwide to help support activities rooted in local communities. To date, the fund has donated more than one billion yen, or about 10 million US dollars, to some 1,700 social welfare facilities and programs.
