The Takeda Foundation, is an organisation based in Japan. In 2001 it launched an annual awards program, which presented awards accompaied by 100 million yen under the categories social/economic well-being, individual/humanity well-being, and world environmental well-being.
Richard Stallman was one of the 2001 award winners.
The awards were suspended in 2003 due to financial constraints, with the hope that they could be restarted if/when the Takeda Foundation's financial situation improves. [1] (http://www.takeda-foundation.jp/en/topics/press/030707.html)
