Connecting Regional Aspirations to the Future with 'Money with Intent'

Our company endorses April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day for announcing dreams. This press release is the dream of "Glocal Crowdfunding Inc."

Crowdfunding is one of the means to support the realization of various challenges born in the region.
By participating in the form of "donations," "support purchases," or "investments" by those who empathize, the circle of activity expands, and aspirations take shape.

We, Glocal Crowdfunding Inc. (Location: Chuo-ku, Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture; Representative Director: Emi Miyako), operate a crowdfunding platform that supports various challenges born in the region, based in Kumamoto.

◆Our crowdfunding platform "Glocal Crowdfunding"

Our corporate philosophy is to "guide 'money with intent' from all over the world" to entrepreneurs with soaring dreams and aspirations. And to "return value and感動 (deep impression/emotion) that exceeds expectations" to those who entrust us with that money.

Dreams of Kyushu we have supported

Six years since our founding in 2020, we have supported a cumulative total of 156 funds and projects, achieving total fundraising of approximately 400 million yen. (As of March 2026)

To date, diverse projects have been launched, including support for local restaurants, culture and sports, and education, gathering much empathy and support.

Behind each of these is a straightforward wish:

"To protect the region" and "to connect aspirations to the future."

Case Studies (FY2025)

【Donation-based】Verdi's "Requiem" Special Performance 10 Years After the Kumamoto Earthquake

This special performance was planned to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Kumamoto Earthquake, with the aim of mourning the victims and passing on their memory.

Centered around a regional choir gathered through public recruitment, participants also came from disaster-stricken areas nationwide, raising donations to create a place to connect aspirations through music.

Preparations are currently underway for the performance on April 5th.

【Purchase-based】Hoshisan 120th Anniversary Project

This project was carried out by Hoshisan Co., Ltd., celebrating its 120th anniversary, with gratitude to the region and customers who have supported them. It was planned to cherish the long-inherited tradition of miso and soy sauce making while connecting it to new challenges for the future.

Through crowdfunding-exclusive products and commemorative events, it became an opportunity to share this milestone with the local community.

【Business Investment-based】Yamada-san's Milk Fund Delivered from Nishihara Village

This fund was launched by Yamada Farm, a dairy farm in Nishihara Village, Kumamoto Prefecture, aiming to expand the manufacturing and sales of dairy products.

Empathy gathered from all over the country for the challenge led by the 75-year-old representative, Masaharu Yamada, towards the future of the region and dairy farming, reaching the full募集満額 (target amount) of 6 million yen in just 10 days from the start of recruitment.

What we aim for is a society where "regional dreams and aspirations reach many people, and we build the future by supporting each other."

Someone's aspirations are empathized with, support gathers, and that support leads to the next challenge.

We want to continue spreading such a flow of "money with intent" within the region.

Towards a future where "dreams" meet and take shape

The essence of crowdfunding lies in "connecting aspirations."
We will continue to nurture these connections while staying close to the region.
