In explaining hometown tax donations, we not only explained the system and its outline, but also introduced the effects of each on local governments, businesses, and donors. In addition, we were able to make people feel more familiar with the project by introducing examples of high school and university students developing gifts for hometown tax donations. During the discussion, we asked the participants to think about which local government they would donate to, how they would use the donation, and what kind of gift they would choose as a gift. In fact, opinions such as “I would like to use the donation to support the reconstruction of the town that was affected by the Noto Peninsula Earthquake” and “Teshio Town has a thriving dairy industry, so I thought it would be nice to have a gift that included a milking experience.” was raised.

During the discussion, we gave examples of projects that were not completed and compared the differences with projects that were completed and the differences in the project pages and exchanged opinions. The discussion led to new discoveries such as “If there are few images on the project page, it is difficult to visualize what you want to achieve” and “If there are no attractive returns for those who support, you may not be able to collect donations.” I did.
Comments from participants*
*Yuki Aiba, second year student at Hokkaido Teshio High School* After listening to Satofuru-san and CAMPFIRE’s lecture this time, I thought it would be great if we could exhibit the sunset pudding we developed like the other high school students. I also thought that I could use the money to contribute to regional revitalization and educational institutions. Additionally, if we can further develop and improve our products through crowdfunding, this will lead to improvements to products that may be submitted to hometown tax donations in the future, so our activities will reach many people and revitalize Teshio Town. I would be happy if
* Mr. Hideto Sugawara, Planning and Commerce Division, Teshio Town, Hokkaido * Through this special lecture given by Satofuru Co., Ltd. and CAMPFIRE Co., Ltd. to Teshio High School second-year students, Teshio High School students became interested in the mechanisms of hometown tax payments and crowdfunding, and held high school-university
collaboration workshops. This gave me a hint when thinking about town development ideas. We could see that the students were actively asking questions online. I also believe that this has given a boost to the town’s key policy of promoting hometown tax payments.
* Kaori Mori, Strategy Promotion Group, Management Strategy Office, Satofuru Co., Ltd.*
Through the lecture, high school and university students learned about the role that hometown tax donations play in the local community, and we encourage them to consider using hometown tax donations as a way to realize their ideas. I would like to have it. Furthermore, in the future, when high school and university students are in the position of a gift provider or donor and want to “invigorate the community” or “support the community,” they will remember and utilize the hometown tax option. We hope that by doing so, you will be able to help revitalize the region, even indirectly.
