70th anniversary Fundraising Campaign for ICU Founders' Day  (June 15 to July 14, 2023)

This year, International Christian University celebrates its 70th anniversary. Through large-scale fundraising activities in the U.S. and Japan, supported by both Christians and non-Christians alike, International Christian University was founded. The generous donations enabled ICU to purchase a spacious greenery land in Mitaka City, Tokyo for its campus, epitomizing many people’s strong will and wishes seeking for peace. These wishes have been passed on to the ‘Friends of ICU’ circle, which provides us with thoughtful support and cooperation.
This year, Pay Forward Fund is designated as a campaign target to encourage expansion of ICU scholarships.
Hoping to share the ICU spirit and values since the foundation, as well as to expand the “Friends of ICU” furthermore, we would like to hold a fundraising campaign to commemorate ICU Founder’s Day on June 15.
To celebrate our 70th Anniversary with as many Friends as possible, we increased the number of commemorative items this year. We would truly appreciate your support for this special year.
