Furunavi's Response to Oita Prefecture Fire Disaster

In November of the year 2023, a significant fire broke out in the Saga-eki area of Oita Prefecture, leading to widespread destruction and urgent need for support. Recognizing the dire situation faced by the local community, Furunavi, a well-known regional donation platform operated by i-Mobile, has stepped up to assist in relief efforts. Beginning November 21, Furunavi will officially open its doors for donations aimed at supporting the victims of this tragic event.

Details of the Disaster Relief Initiative

Furunavi's initiative concentrates on leveraging the existing Furusato Donation system, which encourages individuals to contribute to regional development and crisis recovery. Through this platform, anyone wishing to assist the affected areas can make donations, all of which will go directly to the impacted municipalities, specifically in Oita City, Oita Prefecture. Here is the link for more details.

When donors contribute, they will receive a certificate of donation from the municipality they support, affirming the impact of their contributions. One important note is that compared to regular operations, the issuance of these certificates may take longer than usual, so donors are advised to keep this in mind.

Note: There will be no gifts or incentives for donations made through this emergency support page. However, increasing visibility and awareness about this initiative will immensely contribute to the recovery efforts. We warmly welcome support from across the nation.

Additionally, Furunavi, dedicated to its mission of regional revitalization, offers various services aimed at enhancing user convenience. In October 2024, the company plans to launch the Furunavi App, designed to make transactions smoother and easier for users engaging in charitable contributions. Moreover, the platform's point-based reward system, called Furunavi Travel, has expanded its partnerships to include over 9,000 facilities, ensuring that users can enjoy diverse regional attractions while contributing to local economies.

Continued Commitment from Furunavi

Furunavi remains steadfast in its commitment to enhancing user satisfaction for both donors and municipal partners. Current offerings, like the Furunavi Premium concierge service, allow for a more tailored giving experience. Further options include Furunavi Catalog, which allows users to choose how they wish to give, Furunavi Travel to plan trips easily with donation benefits, and Furunavi Crowdfunding, which merges traditional donation methods with innovative fundraising techniques.

In summary, by participating in the donation initiative, you are not only helping those in immediate distress from the Oita Prefecture fire but also contributing to a larger effort focused on ensuring long-term recovery and revitalization of affected communities. Join us in making a difference!
