Commitment to Creating Opportunities and Prosperity
As a partner, employer, and neighbor, we are committed to building a strong future where everyone can thrive. We believe that social investments are an active demonstration of our values. Strengthening ties to the communities where we live and work—backed by a commitment to building trust among community partners, clients, and colleagues—is at the core of what we do. Our words are followed by actions, and our actions are driven by governing factors that shape all parts of our business.
Our business fuels growth, sparks innovation, and helps communities build prosperity. Our approach toward philanthropy centers around providing the same level of care to our communities as we do to our clients; creating opportunities and equipping them to achieve their full potential. We believe being a good corporate citizen requires sustained community partnerships built around trust and mutual respect. To achieve our mission, we focus on priorities where we can have the most impact on the lives of others.

Building a Brighter Future
At MUFG, we aspire to create access to opportunities and help propel communities towards a brighter future. We do this work by centering our community involvement efforts around: Empowering Communities and Engaging Our Colleagues.
Empowering Communities
We aim to create opportunity and prosperity in the communities in which we live and work through philanthropic investments, volunteering, and charitable donations. We remain committed to serving as a trusted community partner and strive to build a more resilient and stronger society.
Engaging Our Colleagues
Our employees are passionate about making a positive impact in their communities, rolling up their sleeves, and coming together to tackle society's most pressing needs. MUFG provides paid time off for employees to volunteer with organizations of their choice and support the causes they care about. Last fiscal year, employees across the Americas volunteered over 9,000 hours of service to help those in need and donated more than $1.4 million, including the company match, to support the causes that they care about. From mentoring and inspiring students, to preparing meals to those experiencing food insecurity, to building a house for a family in need, our people are always ready to answer the call and donate their energy, time, and talents.
Our Philanthropic Priorities
In order to address the pressing needs of our communities and create a positive impact, our philanthropic investments are devoted to the following strategic areas: Economic Empowerment, Arts and Culture, and Conservation Efforts. We strive for results that propel all our communities toward a better future.
We are actively engaging with nonprofit organizations that align with our philanthropic priorities, goals, and strategy. At this time, MUFG grants are made by invitation only.
