Association for Corporate Support of the Arts, Japan
(Kigyo Mécénat Kyogikai: KMK)

On February 14, 1990, Kigyo Mécénat Kyogikai (KMK: Association for Corporate Support of the Arts, Japan) was founded by private corporations as Japan's first non-profit association devoted to promoting corporate support of the arts [mécénat]. The promotion of positive support of the arts by Japan's leading corporations is the challenge facing KMK. KMK continues to undertake the arduous task of building an infrastructure for cultural support. As means to achieve this mission, KMK conducts research, surveys and seminars to promote partnerships between businesses and the arts, as well as providing information and statistical data relating to corporate support of the arts.
