Connecting Communities and the World Through Music
Ichigo JAM, an NPO located in Ota City, Tokyo, is committed to fostering safe and welcoming spaces for children, the elderly, and culturally diverse individuals. The organization has recently introduced a new initiative, the
Corporate Partnership Program, aimed at expanding local and international community support through collaboration with businesses and organizations. Simultaneously, they have launched a
Djembe Sponsorship System, allowing up to ten companies to feature their logos on the Djembe drums used in various activities.
A Bridge Between Local and Global Initiatives
To achieve its mission, Ichigo JAM has historically engaged in activities that foster connections within the local community. In addition to these efforts in Japan, Ichigo JAM has also extended its reach to Guinea in West Africa, where they implement the
Smile Project. This project focuses on initiatives such as providing children's cafeterias and support for traditional music education, thereby creating an international support network linking Japan and Africa.
By simultaneously advancing community activities domestically and support initiatives overseas, Ichigo JAM aims to create a novel model of social contribution that bridges local and global realms.
Launching the Corporate Partnership Program
The success of Ichigo JAM's initiatives relies heavily on the cooperation of local residents, volunteers, and supporting corporate partners. To further enhance their social impact, the organization has now launched a
Corporate Partnership Program that invites businesses to engage in local activities and international support efforts as part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. This program enables companies to broadcast their contributions within the community through active participation on the ground.
Ichigo JAM continuously shares updates about their activities through social media and their official website, which currently boasts approximately 16,000 followers and around 2,000 page views monthly. The Corporate Partnership Program offers several plans based on the level of corporate involvement:
- - 💎 Platinum Partner: Annual fee of 1,000,000 JPY
- - 🥇 Gold Partner: Annual fee of 500,000 JPY
- - 🥈 Silver Partner: Annual fee of 300,000 JPY
- - ⭐ Standard Partner: Annual fee of 100,000 JPY
- - 🌱 Local Supporter: Contribution starting from 10,000 JPY
