Donations totaling roughly 2.3 billion yen were received in financial 2017 by the University as a whole. UTokyo became a national university corporation in 2004, at which time the University of Tokyo Foundation was created to support the University's activities by strengthening its financial base. The Foundation's current balance is 11 billion yen. In financial 2017, the Foundation received 10,797 donations totaling 2.3 billion yen, 29% by value and 97% by number from individuals. The University is extremely grateful for this strong public support.
