CHIIKISHINBUNSHA CO.,LTD. has launched a crowdfunding campaign to support areas affected by the torrential rain in Chiba and announced plans to expand the circle of support by leveraging its nationwide network.
CHIIKISHINBUNSHA CO.,LTD., based in Yachiyo, Chiba Prefecture, will conduct a project on READYFOR from 10 September to 20 November to raise relief funds for damage caused by torrential rain in Chiba Prefecture. The project uses an All-in model, and the full amount raised after administrative fees are deducted is scheduled to be donated to the Chiba Prefecture relief fund.
The company plans to seek the cooperation of the local community-focused lifestyle information magazine voluntary chain to which it belongs and the Japan Free Paper Network, using a nationwide local media network to expand the circle of support. The affiliated media outlets comprise 34 publications nationwide, with a combined circulation of approximately 15 million copies.
The target amount for the Chiba Torrential Rain Disaster Relief Fund Project is ¥1 million, and permission has already been obtained to donate the funds to the relief fund being solicited by Chiba Prefecture. CHIIKISHINBUNSHA CO.,LTD. is putting in place a framework to expand information distribution both within and outside Chiba Prefecture by leveraging its assets built up over many years.
