Cultive Inc. (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture; Representative Director: Kiyoshi Ikeda), which operates "river," a regional problem-solving platform utilizing the corporate hometown tax donation system, has released a new feature called "Local Government Wish List." This feature allows local governments to register items necessary for regional problem-solving and business promotion, and companies to propose donations by leveraging their own products, services, and resources.
With this function, local governments can register not only item needs such as official vehicles, educational equipment, and disaster prevention supplies, but also planned projects, utilization purposes, and reference product information. After trial operation, over 80 item needs (as of April 30, 2026) have already been registered, leading to cases of donations from companies.
This function is patented (Patent No. 7834399).
Background of the Feature Release
As collaboration between local governments and companies utilizing the corporate hometown tax donation system expands, companies' consideration for donations is extending beyond mere financial support to regional contributions that leverage their own business areas, products, and services.
On the other hand, local governments faced challenges such as "difficulty in concretely communicating necessary items, utilization purposes, and their relation to regional issues to companies" and "difficulty in conveying specific utilization images to companies," even when they had items necessary for regional problem-solving and business promotion.
In response to these requests from local governments, river has been developing a function to connect local governments' item needs with companies' intentions to donate and provide.
About This Feature
This feature allows local governments to register items necessary for regional problem-solving and project promotion on river, connecting local governments' item needs with companies' intentions to donate and provide.
Local governments can register information about items, as well as projects to be used, utilization purposes, and usage methods on the system.
By publicly disclosing the registered information themselves, local governments share the items needed in the region and their utilization image with companies through partners such as local banks.
For example, it is envisioned that various items needed in the region will be registered, such as official vehicles and electric vehicles for global warming countermeasures, electronic blackboards for ICT education in elementary and junior high schools, and disaster prevention supplies and evacuation center equipment necessary during disasters.
A major feature for local governments is the ability to concretely communicate to companies "what is needed," "in which project it will be utilized," and "how it will lead to the solution of regional issues."
For companies considering donation projects, the utilization projects and purposes are clear, making it easier to explain post-donation results, facilitating internal approval, CSR explanations, and connection with regional collaboration policies, and making it easier to find regional contribution destinations compatible with their own products, services, and business areas.
river will continue to create an environment where both local governments and companies can easily work on regional problem-solving.
In addition to financial support through corporate hometown tax donations, we will promote functional enhancements as an entry point for public-private co-creation that links companies' products, services, technologies, and expertise to regional problem-solving, and support the creation of sustainable relationships between regions and companies.
