Support Us

SOYOGI's official character, 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.

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 receives GIV tokens in proportion to the donation, distributed in two-week rounds. This is run by Giveth, not by SOYOGI.
