Support Us
Meet Soyosoyo
We are looking for people who would like to support our work.
SOYOGI is a non-profit voluntary association that operates without subsidies or grants from government bodies, so that our activities stay independent. Every donation we receive, along with our earned income, goes entirely toward our work.
Please note: SOYOGI is not a donee eligible for preferential tax treatment, so donations are not tax-deductible. We appreciate your understanding.
What You Send Does Not Stop at SOYOGI
The first givers are not us. They are the donors who support this work, and the people who use our paid general consultation. SOYOGI receives what they give, and passes it on to the people who come to us: as free consultations, and as a room that stays open at night.
The people who receive help owe SOYOGI nothing back. Some day, to someone near them. If that keeps going, we believe it comes back to the first givers too, perhaps not as money, but as something good. This is what pay it forward means to us.
There is no paper or statistic behind this. It is an ideal. But it is the shape our organisation is built on. What you send does not stop here. It is passed on.
Ways to Support Us
GIVETH (various cryptocurrencies)
You can support us in a range of cryptocurrencies through the donation platform Giveth (launched in 2016). Giveth charges no platform fee, and donations go directly from your wallet to SOYOGI's wallet. Please note that the donation screen has a share for Giveth itself, preset to 10%. It is deducted from the amount you enter rather than added on top, so if you would like your whole gift to reach SOYOGI, set it to 0%.
SOYOGI holds Giveth's Verified status. On 4 September 2026 the project was also included in GIVbacks, Giveth's program for donors. Counting every project through Giveth's public API that day, 7,696 were listed publicly, 4,397 held Verified status and 4,222 were included in GIVbacks. Of those 4,222, some 3,618 had been registered in bulk by an overseas donation intermediary, leaving 604 that their operators registered themselves. As far as we could confirm, SOYOGI is the only one of those 604 registered from Japan. Anyone who gives 5 USD or more to an included project is entered into Giveth's GIV token raffle (GIVbacks). The draw and the distribution are run by Giveth, not by SOYOGI.
Donating with JPYC
