Furusato Nozei "Children's Furusato Bin" Project "Donation Thanks Letter 2025" Wins Donation Month Project Award 2025

Nessoo Inc. (Headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yuki Kido; hereinafter "Nessoo"), which operates "Kodomo Furusato Bin" aiming to eliminate children's opportunity gaps, has received the "Donation Month Project Award" at the "Donation Month Awards 2025" hosted by the Donation Month Executive Committee.

"Kodomo Furusato Bin" is a system that utilizes Furusato Nozei (hometown tax donation) to deliver "support items," such as local specialties and experiences, to children's cafeterias, single-parent households, and children battling serious illnesses. Donors can participate in child support while receiving return gifts in the same way as regular Furusato Nozei.

"Kifu Thanks Letter 2025" is an initiative that utilized donations received through "Kodomo Furusato Bin" throughout 2025 to deliver rice and vegetables to children's cafeterias nationwide, and solicited thank-you messages from the recipient organizations to the donors. From December 1 to 31, 2025, thank-you letters were received from 140 children's cafeterias in 36 prefectures nationwide.

The collected letters were disseminated through a special page and Instagram. This allowed us to convey to donors how their contributions were utilized on the ground, and also shared by the children's cafeterias that received the ingredients through their SNS, websites, and email newsletters.
