Daiwa Zaitaku's Commitment to Education in Iwate

Daiwa Zaitaku Co., Ltd., known for its initiatives in real estate and asset value co-creation, is making significant contributions to its hometown of Iwate, represented by CEO Masaaki Fujiwara. The company has announced two major donations aimed at fostering a learning and creative environment for the region's youth.

Utilizing Corporate Hometown Tax for Educational Support

The first part of Daiwa Zaitaku's initiative involves a substantial donation of 10 million yen through the corporate hometown tax program to support Yahaba Town's project, which aims to build an inclusive society where no one is left behind. This donation will be allocated to various essential uses:

• - Support for School Club Activities: The funds will help subsidize travel expenses for local students involved in club activities and competitions, easing the financial burden and promoting active participation.
• - Enrichment of Library Collections: Additionally, a portion of the donation will be used to enhance the Yahaba Town Library’s collection. This will specifically target children’s literature and educational books, providing young readers with diverse materials that enrich their learning experience.

A ceremony to present appreciation letters for the donations is planned for November 2025 at the Yahaba Town Hall. A follow-up press release will be issued post-ceremony, which will include comments from CEO Fujiwara and community voices.

Supporting the Future Library Project

In addition to the educational support donation, Daiwa Zaitaku is also backing the Future Library Project operated by the Non-Profit Organization (NPO) “Future Library” based in Morioka, Iwate. This project is committed to connecting children with societal values and diverse narratives through career education support programs. This initiative allows children to learn from stories of adults with varied life paths during school lessons.

In November 2025, a lecture will be organized at Yahaba Kita Junior High School, featuring CEO Masaaki Fujiwara as a speaker. He will share his experiences and insights about his career and convey his aspirations for the community, encouraging children’s eagerness to learn and prepare for their futures.

Background and Motivation

The two donations exemplify a new model for educational support from urban businesses to rural revitalization. They are born out of CEO Fujiwara’s commitment to give back to his roots. Acknowledging the social issue of educational disparity, he has long been dedicated to supporting local children's education through tailored initiatives. This tangible act of giving demonstrates Daiwa Zaitaku’s commitment to contributing to sustainable community development.

The company is committed to collaborating with local residents and organizations, striving to create environments where children can explore their potential and expand their future options. This entails fostering sustainable educational environments and supporting their growth.

A Message to Children from CEO Fujiwara

"Your experiences now are weapons for your future."

> Growing up can be challenging, but it is also exciting. With ‘responsibilities’ come ‘freedoms.’ Right now, you enjoy a safe and nurturing environment supported by your family and community. It might feel limiting at times, but in reality, you are well-protected.

> As you grow up, you will work, make your own choices, and take responsibility for your decisions. While this may bring more challenges, it also grants you the freedom to shape your own life. The options you have in the future depend significantly on how you spend your time now. Study hard, play passionately, and gather diverse experiences, as they will all become significant advantages in your future.

> Daiwa Zaitaku will continue to enhance the quality of life for our clients, partners, and employees through our business. We are dedicated to contributing to the development of Japan and countries worldwide, with all our efforts to ensure prosperity continues revolving around us.
