#2. Request for Donations (from Hajime NARUSE, Finance Committee Chair)

The size of JpGU has been increasing year by year, and the scope of
its activities is expanding significantly internationally. In addition,
the spread of COVID-19 has made it imperative to strengthen the
online conference hosting system. These activities of the JpGU have
been supported mainly by our members’ annual membership fees and
the annual meeting participation fees. However, if the current situation
continues, it will be difficult for JpGU to continue its activities
due to a significant shortage of funds to expand the administrative
structure and the online supporting system.

Therefore, we request your donation. With the broad support of our
members, the general public, and corporations, JpGU will continue to
strive to develop a prosperous, safe, and secure society by advancing
the field of earth and planetary sciences. We appreciate your
understanding of JpGU’s philosophy and activities.

Please note that you may specify the purpose of your donation (a
nursery room during meetings, student travel expenses, and costs for
section activities). If you do not determine a specific purpose for
your donation, please leave the use of your donation to us.
Your donation will be used effectively for various JpGU projects.

[How to make a donation]
You can donate by credit card from the JpGU Individual Member Site
(https://www.jpgu-member.org/jpgu/en/ ) and clicking on the “Payment”
menu.
We ask for a minimum donation of 3,000 per unit. If you wish to specify
the purpose of your donation, please let the administration know
through the following form.
https://business.form-mailer.jp/fms/ca18f5da115740
We will send you a payment slip by mail if you want to donate using
a payment method other than a credit card. In such case, please contact
us using the designated form below.
https://business.form-mailer.jp/fms/e5ef343d115393

[Tax Deduction of Donations]
As JpGU is certified as a public interest incorporated association,
donations to JpGU are tax deductible under Article 78 of the Income
Tax Law of Japan, which allows for a tax deduction.
