We are pleased to announce that the Certified NPO Aichi Children's Hospice Project (hereinafter referred to as "ACHP"), which works to create a place for children with life-threatening illnesses or disabilities, their siblings, and families, was certified as a "Certified Specified Nonprofit Corporation (Certified NPO)" by Nagoya City on April 1, 2026.
This certification was acquired just three years after the corporation's establishment in April 2023. As we prepare to open the Tokai region's first community-based children's hospice, "Nagakute no Ouchi" (Nagakute City, Aichi Prefecture) in August this year, obtaining this certification means tax incentives will apply to donors. This establishes a system making it easier for a wider range of people, both individuals and corporations, to support us.
1. Tax Incentives for Donors due to Certified NPO Status
Donations to a Certified NPO are eligible for the following tax incentives.
[Individual Donors]
Through filing a tax return, you can choose whichever is more advantageous: "Income Deduction" or "Tax Credit".
In the case of Tax Credit: (Donation amount - 2,000 yen) x 40% is directly deducted from the income tax amount (capped at 25% of the income tax amount).
In the case of Income Deduction: (Donation amount - 2,000 yen) is deducted from taxable income (capped at 40% of income).
If designated by ordinance by prefectures or municipalities, a donation tax credit for individual resident tax also applies.
Example: If you donate 30,000 yen annually and choose the tax credit, your income tax will be reduced by up to 11,200 yen.
[Corporate Donors]
Separate from the general donation deduction limit, donations can be included in deductible expenses within the scope of the special deductible limit. Support as CSR and ESG activities becomes more advantageous in terms of taxation.
2. Background and Significance of Acquiring Certification
Since the launch of the preparatory committee in October 2022, ACHP has continued activities to build a children's hospice in the Tokai region, alongside patients' families, medical professionals, and local residents.
April 2023: Establishment of the NPO
November 2023: Submission of a written request to the Deputy Mayor of Nagoya City
2024 onwards: Continuous implementation of study sessions, grief support groups, photo projects, etc.
August 2024: Inspection tour of children's hospices in Europe
February 2026: Hosting the National Children's Hospice Summit, launching crowdfunding
March 2026: Achieved the crowdfunding goal of 3 million yen in 11 days
April 2026: Acquired Certified NPO status <- This release
August 2026: Scheduled opening of "Nagakute no Ouchi"
Acquiring the Certified NPO status is proof that the transparency and public interest of ACHP's operations have been recognized through the screening by the competent authority.
For a community-based children's hospice operated primarily through donations, tax incentives for donors serve as a vital foundation supporting the sustainability of its activities.
