Katsushika Ward Launches Two New Donation Projects

The Katsushika Ward in Tokyo, alongside the hometown tax portal site "Satofull," operated by the Satofull Corporation, has announced the commencement of donation acceptance for two projects starting June 2, 2025, through its "Satofull Crowdfunding" initiative. This year marks the third round of fundraising for their initiatives utilizing green slow mobility, which commenced in 2023.

The "Satofull Crowdfunding" platform leverages the hometown tax donation system, allowing municipalities to establish projects that require funding while appealing to the community for donations. Donors can choose specific projects based on their intended use of the funds and can also post supportive messages to the municipalities or monitor the accumulated donation amounts in real-time.
