How can NPOs truly thrive in today’s interconnected world?
We’re excited to share a roundtable discussion featuring the authors of our latest resource, the "NPO Management Support Workbook."
Our contributors explore a major paradigm shift in NPO management—moving from internal organization building to "Stakeholder Management." While the workbook is in Japanese, the insights on AI, cross-sector partnerships, and the power of social impact reflection are universal for the global social sector.
Check out the full discussion and join us in redefining the future of social impact!

Defining the Future of NPO Support in Japan
Did you know that Japan has hundreds of "NPO Support Centers" dedicated to empowering local nonprofits?
To clarify our path forward, JNPOC, along with a group of like-minded private NPO support centers, has co-created a new vision for our sector. This document reflects our shared commitment and the unique role we play as private NPO support centers in Japan's civil society.
We are excited to share the English version of this vision! We hope this provides a deeper look into the future we are building together.

In an aging society like Japan, where women often outlive their partners and face many years living solo, the fear of isolation is a real concern. How can we ensure no one is left to face the future alone?
In our latest translated article, we feature the NPO Sakuranbo-no-Kai. Based in Nagoya, which is redefining end-of-life support by focusing on the power of "loose connections." From "Good Morning" LINE messages to dressing up for a special lunch together, see how they are building a warm community where women can support one another with peace of mind.

New Japanese Translation Released: Building Age-Friendly Societies in Asia

We are thrilled to announce the release of the Japanese version of the latest report by the Centre for Asian Philanthropy and Society (CAPS): "Building Age-Friendly Societies in Asia."

As the Japan research partner, we contributed to the study and provided the Japanese translation for this vital research. The report examines how rapid population aging is reshaping societies across six Asian economies: Mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Chinese Taipei, and Thailand.

How can philanthropy and private social investment complement public systems? The report identifies 5 Strategic Priorities to guide philanthropists, corporates, and foundations: Reframing aging, Supporting aging in place, Strengthening care systems, Expanding the silver economy, and Harnessing technology

This report is a practical resource for anyone aiming to direct private resources toward effective and scalable responses to aging in Asia.
