Through this "Disaster Recovery Leadership Program," you can sponsor talented young Japanese to become entrepreneurial disaster recovery leaders and energize their work reconstructing the Tohoku region in Japan. These young leaders in their 20s and 30s from all over Japan will be sent to 50 projects for disaster relief and community and industrial revitalization. Examples of such projects include: a community bus operation project and a project to create an association of food industries in the Eastern region of Japan. The Fellows in this Disaster Recovery Leadership Program must make full-time commitment for period of 3 months to 1 year. This can be made possible only with your financial support. Our goal is to sponsor Fellows who will become the leaders of next generation, and to generate 15,000 beneficiaries in community revitalization and 600 new jobs through industrial revitalization. Furthermore, this program cultivates social awareness and an entrepreneurial spirit in youth and the people around them, while taking advantage of their energy and ambition for long-lasting and effective development. This program has the potential to move past mere relief and progress and have a ripple effect towards social end economic development throughout Japan.

You can help grow and energize the non-profit sector in Japan by supporting Coalition for Legislation to Support Citizens’ Organizations (C’s). As a leading advocate for the nonprofit sector in Japan, C's provides practical trainings for Japanese organizations to understand the criteria and process to secure tax exempt status, and thus have access to charitable giving. Unfortunately, the process for becoming tax-exempt status is complicated and cumbersome. Without these seminars, many nonprofit organizations will be unable to navigate the voluminous paperwork and bureaucratic hurdles in the process. This is both an important barrier and leverage point for large-scale change in Japanese civil society.
