NPO Summit 2025: Bridging Support through Charity Activities

On December 21, 2025, a significant charity event, titled "NPO Summit 2025: From Empathy to Resonance - Shaping Social Contributions through Your Favorite NPOs," will take place at the Cybozu Tokyo office. Organized in collaboration with the Japan Committee for Vaccines for the World’s Children (JCV) and supported by Sonorite Inc., this event aims to expand the network of support through enthusiastic engagement with participating NPOs.

The 2025 summit marks the third occurrence of this fascinating event, previously held in 2010 and 2012. With the theme "From Empathy to Resonance," the summit will feature presentations from 13 nonprofit organizations (NPOs), allowing attendees to connect with causes that resonate with their values. Participants will have the opportunity to donate to NPOs that capture their empathy, fostering a deeper dialogue about the significance of each organization’s work and the reasons behind their donations.

In addition to featuring booths showcasing the activities of JCV, the summit will host a keynote speech by Taka Wada, renowned advisor to the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks, who has himself supported vaccine donations corresponding to his pitching achievements. For attendees, this event serves as both a chance to encounter their favorite NPOs and a bold challenge for the NPOs to seek broader support. This enriching experience promises to fulfill the hearts of both donors and the organizations they support.

During this charity summit, the spotlight will be on the concept of "push activities," as attendees seek out their favorite NPO. This event enables participants to support organizations directly from the venue, nurturing heartfelt experiences in conjunction with the Christmas and New Year season.

The event will also include a showcase of various NPOs that have fine-tuned their presentation skills through a series of workshops. Participants will witness impactful presentations and dialogues, connecting with organizations that embody their values. As part of the month dedicated to giving, attendees will be able to aid their chosen NPOs, contributing to the warmth of the holiday season.
