ZOYO, Inc. Raises Funds from Congrant to Expand a Culture of Giving in Society

ZOYO, Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Takumi Komuro; hereinafter "ZOYO"), a company developing and providing services in the micro-donation field such as donations and tips, announces that it has raised funds from Congrant Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nishi-ku, Osaka; CEO: Masataka Sato; hereinafter "Congrant").

Through this funding, ZOYO will strengthen its collaboration with Congrant, a company that has supported numerous nonprofit organizations in the fields of donation digital transformation (Donation DX) and fundraising, and will advance the development of services in the micro-donation space, including donations and tips.

The Society ZOYO Aims to Realize

Founded in February 2026, ZOYO exists to "expand giving in society."

In an era where the true meaning of prosperity is being reexamined, we believe that "giving" holds greater significance than ever before. For us, giving means "shaping one’s intentions and feelings into a form and delivering them to someone." This can take many forms—money as a donation, goods as a gift, or time as helping someone.

Giving is not merely an exchange of resources. For the giver, it is a way to express their values and stance. For the receiver, it affirms that their existence and activities are valued by others. This exchange fosters human connections and nurtures happiness. Moreover, there are vital social activities—such as care, education, culture, creation, and community building—that are essential to society but cannot be fully sustained by market mechanisms alone. Giving serves as a new channel to deliver resources to these activities.

By expanding giving in society, we aim to create a richer economic ecosystem where more people connect with and support one another, and resources naturally flow to where they are needed. A society where giving is widespread will be more humane, warm, and comfortable. Toward this vision, we are first focusing on building systems that enable people’s intentions and feelings to circulate as money in society.

Purpose and Outlook of the Fundraising

This fundraising was conducted to accelerate ZOYO’s service development in the micro-donation field.

Congrant is a leading company in the donation and fundraising sector, having supported numerous nonprofit organizations and social-impact groups. ZOYO will further strengthen its collaboration with Congrant, leveraging its extensive expertise, to create systems that make giving—such as donations and tips—a more natural part of everyday life.

Going forward, ZOYO plans to explore the potential of giving across various domains through co-creation with nonprofit organizations, creators, local communities, and corporations, while validating its services.

Comments from Both Companies

Masataka Sato, CEO, Congrant Co., Ltd.

We deeply resonate with ZOYO’s vision of "expanding giving in society," which led us to invest. While Congrant has long worked to create financial flows through donations, ZOYO is addressing the very foundation: the human will to connect. We firmly believe that a world where micro-donations like donations and tips are seamlessly integrated into daily life will become a new lifeblood for society. We fully support the future that Mr. Komuro and the ZOYO team are building.

Takumi Komuro, CEO, ZOYO, Inc.

We are deeply grateful for Congrant’s investment and confidence in ZOYO’s mission, as a leading player in the donation and fundraising space. We have been greatly supported by Mr. Sato for nearly three years, and the sincere approach of Congrant’s team toward donations and NPOs has continuously inspired us. We believe that giving has the power to enrich people and society. To make giving more natural for everyone, we are developing services in the micro-donation space, including donations and tips. While our business is still in the validation phase, we will continue building systems for giving that meet the needs of our times, with the support of many stakeholders.
