Supporting Aomori with Furunavi’s Disaster Relief Fund

In the wake of the January 2023 heavy snowfall that led to significant damage in Aomori Prefecture, Furunavi, a local tax donation platform operated by i-mobile Corporation, has stepped up to help. Starting from January 30, 2023, Furunavi has set up an emergency disaster support window for donations aimed at restoring affected areas, with the city of Hirakawa being the latest addition to its support list.

Overview of the Disaster Relief Efforts

The heavy snow in early January caused widespread adversity for communities in Aomori, and Furunavi is committed to facilitating a rapid response by leveraging Japan's hometown tax donation system. Potential donors can visit Furunavi's disaster support page, where they can make donations that directly contribute to recovery efforts.

Participating Municipalities

Furunavi's initiative currently covers several cities in Aomori Prefecture:

• - Hirakawa City (newly added)
• - Aomori City
• - Hirosaki City
• - Kuroishi City
• - Goshogawara City
• - Ajigasawa Town
• - Tsugaru Town

More municipalities may join this list as needs evolve.

How the Donation Process Works

Donations made through Furunavi are directed entirely to the affected municipalities, ensuring that 100% of the contributions support recovery efforts. After processing, contributors will receive a donation receipt from the respective local government, although delays might occur in receipt dispatch due to the surge in participation during emergencies.

Furthermore, unlike typical donation processes, Furunavi has opted not to collect any transaction fees for donations made in relation to disaster relief, which means every penny goes towards aiding recovery efforts. However, please note that there will be no reward gifts for these donations, a decision aimed at maximizing the impact of the contributions rather than incentivizing them.

A Call for Support

Furunavi is dedicated to raising awareness about the issues at hand. It emphasizes that increased exposure would correlate with enhanced support for affected areas. They welcome contributions from across the nation to help Aomori's communities recover from this calamity.

In addition to disaster relief, Furunavi strives to empower local economies, exemplified by its various services including:

• - Furunavi Premium: A concierge service for hometown tax donations.
• - Furunavi Catalog: A point-based reward system that allows donors to choose their rewards at leisure, with no expiration on points.
• - Furunavi Travel: A travel booking platform featuring over 10,000 listings.
• - Furunavi Crowdfunding: A model that combines traditional rewards-based donations with local needs.

Conclusion

The natural calamities faced by communities are heart-wrenching, and Furunavi's initiatives to support recovery through local tax donations are vital. By engaging individuals and organizations alike, they hope to facilitate quicker recovery and restore normalcy for those affected. The journey towards rebuilding starts with each contribution, and every small effort adds up to a larger impact.
