Emergency Support for Okinawa by Furunavi
Furunavi, a prominent furusato tax donation platform operated by i-mobile Co., Ltd., has taken a swift action to aid the communities affected by the disastrous typhoons and heavy rains that occurred in May and June of 2023. Starting June 4, a special donation initiative has been launched to assist the area of Chatan Town in Okinawa, which suffered significant damages. We express our heartfelt sympathies to all those impacted by this calamity.
About the Initiative
This newly established emergency donation window will leverage the furusato tax donation system, allowing contributions directly to support the impacted regions. All donations made through this channel will be forwarded in full to the affected local government, ensuring that the funds can be utilized where they are most needed. In return, donors will receive a donation receipt from the municipality they contributed to; however, please be aware that the issuance of receipts might be delayed due to the circumstances.
The great aspect of this system is its zero transaction fees. For this initiative, Furunavi will not charge any fees to municipalities and will only forward the entire donation amount. While no reward items will be offered for these particular donations, the importance of creating awareness and gathering support cannot be understated. Every effort counts towards recovery, and the participation of people across the nation is eagerly awaited.
Participating Municipalities
Chatan Town in Okinawa has been recently added to the list of municipalities that are open for disaster support donations. Other municipalities such as Kawazu Town in Shizuoka have also initiated disaster support efforts, making it possible for potential donors to choose which area they wish to support.
