ReFrame NPO Achieves Successful Crowdfunding for Children’s Dining Project

In a remarkable achievement, the NPO ReFrame, founded by Daiki Ogawa and Daiki Yamada, has successfully completed its crowdfunding project titled "Creating a Permanent Children's Dining Place! #A Place for Everyone." The crowdfunding, hosted by Spportunity Co., Ltd. from Tokyo, kicked off on December 1, 2025, and concluded on January 25, 2026, with a total fundraising amount reaching 11,022,900 yen, exceeding the initial goal of 10 million yen by 110%. This initiative aims to establish a multifunctional children’s dining facility in Hamamatsu City.

Project Highlights

The crowdfunding endeavor, which sought to raise awareness and support for children in need, garnered significant backing, culminating in a remarkable turnout from the community. On the final day of funding, with the support of 419 contributors who made a total of 495 donations, the team met its target, receiving heartfelt gratitude from the organizers. The funds raised will be used to cover the initial setup costs of the new dining facility.

Daiki Ogawa, the representative of ReFrame, expressed immense appreciation for the community’s support: "We are grateful for all the warm support we received which helped us achieve our target of 10 million yen. There are many children and families in our community who still require assistance. We aim to provide not just meals, but also educational and experiential opportunities for the children." This reflects ReFrame's mission to foster a nurturing and supportive environment for children and families facing various challenges, such as economic hardship and social isolation.

A Future-Focused Project

ReFrame was established in 2022, inspired by the experiences of Ogawa and Yamada during their time as athletes with Jubilo Iwata, where they frequently visited children’s care facilities and pediatric wards. The organization’s goals extend beyond providing food; ReFrame seeks to create a safe space for children where they can enjoy various learning and social experiences, while also supporting parents who may feel isolated in their parenting journey. The multifunctional, permanent children’s dining facility is envisioned as a community hub, termed a “place to belong,” where children and families are welcomed with open arms.

The plan not only addresses the immediate needs of food but also integrates educational support, social interaction, and assistance with resources for families.

The Importance of Community Collaboration

The success of this crowdfunding effort cannot be overstated. It was a collective endeavor that could not have been achieved without the understanding and empathy of community members who resonate with the mission of ReFrame. Now that the funding goal has been reached, Ogawa emphasizes that this is just the beginning: “The support we received is not the end but a starting point. The real work is yet to unfold as we channel this support into meaningful actions for the future of the children.”

As preparations for the dining facility are underway, ReFrame invites the community to continue their warm support and remain engaged with their initiatives. With this upcoming center, ReFrame aims to build not just a dining location, but a nurturing environment where children can thrive emotionally and physically.
