Emergency Support Initiatives Launches for Disaster Relief in Kumamoto Earthquake
In response to the devastating Kumamoto earthquake of Reiwa 8, the donation portal ‘Furunavi’, managed by i-mobile Co., Ltd. based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has launched an emergency support initiative to provide much-needed aid to the affected areas. From July 29, the site has opened up donation channels for 25 municipalities. This initiative utilizes the hometown tax donation system to channel funds directly to the impacted local governments, thereby ensuring that 100% of the donated amounts are allocated to disaster relief efforts.
The municipalities that are now accepting donations include Yatsushiro City, Kikuchi City, and Uto City, among others. Various proxy donation arrangements have been established with cities such as Kanuma City in Tochigi and Sakai Town in Ibaraki to further bolster the support network. Each municipality has dedicated links on the Furunavi site for donors to easily navigate and contribute.
Notably, the site emphasizes that even though there are no return gifts associated with these specific donations, the entire process is streamlined to minimize fees. Public contributions can be made without incurring additional costs, as municipal governments will not collect any processing fees. However, donors should be aware that the issuance of donation receipts might take longer than usual due to the current circumstances.
In addition to accepting support for the newly affected areas, the site remains open for donations for municipalities already listed for disaster relief, which include Kumamoto City, Aso City, and others. This comprehensive initiative highlights the commitment of Furunavi and participating municipalities to rebuild and assist the regions devastated by the earthquake.
The ease of contributing via the online platform, coupled with transparency regarding fund distribution, allows individuals across Japan to join in the relief efforts. The need for assistance is pressing, and the campaign aims to raise awareness of the situation in Kumamoto, encouraging donations from across the nation.
Since its establishment, Furunavi has played a pivotal role in revitalizing communities through the hometown tax system, offering various initiatives such as the ‘Furunavi Premium’ concierge service and collaborative crowdfunding campaigns designed specifically for local governments. The overarching vision of i-mobile is to continuously create businesses that contribute to 'people’s futures,' and this initiative is a direct extension of that mission.
To support these communities further, visit the disaster assistance page on the Furunavi website. By consolidating donations and leveraging the hometown tax framework, those impacted by the calamity can begin the journey of recovery, supported by the compassion and generosity of individuals nationwide.
