Furunavi Launches Emergency Disaster Support for June 2023 Earthquake Victims

Furunavi Launches Emergency Disaster Support



In light of the June 2023 earthquake that has caused substantial devastation, the Japan-based crowdfunding platform for hometown tax donations, Furunavi, directed by the company i-mobile, is stepping up to provide urgent aid. On June 26, 2023, the site initiated a special donation portal to gather contributions for three municipal areas severely impacted by the natural disaster. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to all affected individuals and families.

Supporting Municipalities


The municipalities eligible for disaster support via Furunavi include:
  • - Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture (Proxy: Sannohe Town)
  • - Hashikami Town, Aomori Prefecture
  • - Sannohe Town, Aomori Prefecture (Proxy for disaster response)

These municipalities are officially recognized as requiring immediate financial assistance due to the earthquake's aftermath. Interested individuals can view the detailed information on the disaster support page available on the Furunavi website.

How the Support Works


The emergency donation window established on the Furunavi website allows users to make contributions that will be entirely directed to the affected local governments. Once donors submit their donation requests, they will receive a formal certificate of donation from the respective municipality, acknowledging their support.

It is important to note that the issuance of this certificate may experience delays compared to regular periods due to the current situation. Nonetheless, Furunavi assures donors that no transaction fees will be charged during this emergency period. This includes the full contribution being redirected to the municipalities without any commissions, ensuring the maximum possible impact from every donation.

No Gifts, Just Genuine Support


In this instance, the company has decided that there will not be any return gifts as commonly provided in typical donation contexts. This decision underscores the primary aim—to prioritize the direct support to disaster-hit communities.

The message is clear: the more people are aware of this initiative, the greater the assistance we can provide. We urge individuals nationwide to contribute and support as many needs that rise from this tragic event.
