MoneyForward's New Project for Charitable Donations
In a significant step towards social contributions, MoneyForward has launched the "MoneyForward Business Card Sponsorship Points" project. This initiative allows businesses and individual entrepreneurs using the MoneyForward Business Card to donate a portion of their accumulated points to various charitable organizations. One of the beneficiaries of this program is the Long Spoon Association, an organization dedicated to ensuring that children have access to adequate meals.
About the Project
The "MoneyForward Business Card Sponsorship Points" project is a novel approach where points earned from using the MoneyForward Business Card can be donated to specific charities. This project aims to create a supportive community by facilitating contributions across various sectors, including sports, regional development, and disaster relief. The collaboration with the Long Spoon Association is a move to support future generations, providing direct assistance to children in need.
The initiative enables establishments that register as participants in the Long Spoon Association's 'Food Ribbon' project to sell ribbons for 300 yen each. Customers who purchase these ribbons can display them on a board in the restaurant, and in return, children can exchange a ribbon for a meal. This innovative method not only provides food but also fosters a sense of community involvement.
How the Sponsorship Points Work
Participating businesses and entrepreneurs can use their Business Card for transactions, and a part of the points earned can be designated for donations. They also have the option to contribute all their points. This generosity can support operational costs and help establish a sustainable foundation for the organizations.
The MoneyForward Business Card has previously collaborated with various sports teams and social organizations, proposing new avenues for point allocation. By broadening the scope of donation options, the project has evolved into a multi-faceted initiative aimed at promoting community welfare. MoneyForward continues to explore partnerships that encourage innovative donation schemes through its card payment system.
Participation in the Sponsorship Points Project
The project targets both corporate and individual business owners. Interested parties can apply through a dedicated form to issue a MoneyForward Business Card. This step not only allows businesses to make a difference, but it also opens doors for new business opportunities and contributes to critical CSR activities.
