40-40 Fuwaku (不惑) Fund
Fuwaku Fund
In 2018, to mark its 40th year since establishment, the SOAS Japan Research Centre launched the “40-40 Fuwaku Fund”.
The meaning of Fuwaku (不惑) is to ‘follow the right course past the age of 40’. The goal of the 40-40 Fuwaku Fund is to sustain the JRC through its next 40 years of activities (2018-2058), with a minimum target of 40 donors over 40 years contributing toward core JRC research activities.
The JRC welcomes donations from corporate, institutional and individual donors to sustain JRC research activities within the spirit of Fuwaku (不惑). All donors are acknowledged below and larger donations can have the donor name branded to the research activity.
