Emergency Disaster Support Initiative by Furunavi

In the wake of the devastating heavy rain disaster of August 2023, known as the Reiwa 8 Heavy Rain, Furunavi, an online regional tax donation platform operated by iMobile Corporation, has taken swift action by initiating emergency disaster relief efforts. Through the Shinjuku Ward in Tokyo, they will facilitate donations aiming to support those affected in Fukui Prefecture, particularly in Sakai City. This initiative began on August 17, 2023, and marks a sincere response to the needs of those impacted by this natural calamity.

Overview of Support Initiatives

Furunavi has set up a dedicated portal on their website to streamline the emergency disaster support process. This is part of a broader effort to harness the power of the hometown tax system for aiding devastated regions. Anyone wishing to contribute can do so directly through the site, with all donated funds being forwarded entirely to the impacted municipalities.

It's noteworthy that contributors will receive a donation receipt from the municipality to which they donate. However, due to the high demand and conditions following the disaster, there may be delays in issuing these receipts, so contributors are asked for their understanding in this matter.

In a commendable effort to ensure that donations are maximally beneficial, Furunavi will not charge any fees related to processing these donations. Unlike typical donation scenarios where the municipality collects processing fees, this initiative allows every cent earned to directly aid disaster victims.
