Sozosei Foundation

The Sozosei Foundation was established in 2019 as a philanthropic arm of Otsuka. The name Sozosei means “creativity” in Japanese. Our Japanese heritage is manifest in the Foundation’s fundamental values and day-to-day operations. We are guided by a spirit of “Jissho,” or “proof through execution,” as we employ our unique assets and skills to contribute to the well-being of patients, families, health care providers, and each other. The Foundation’s mission is be a catalyst for ideas that nurture creative solutions for healthier communities.

The Foundation’s primary focus is to eliminate the inappropriate use of jails and prisons for the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness by improving access to mental health care in communities across the nation. The Foundation also engages in disaster relief in places where Otsuka has a presence globally, and supports efforts to build resilient, healthy, and vibrant communities in a 50-mile radius of Otsuka's offices in the United States.
