How can companies and organizations support the Houses?
1. Host a donation box
One method of corporate support is to host a donation box in-house at your company/organization, and then manage and routinely remit the donations. This is an easy way to begin support and allows the company employees to make a social contribution from a familiar environment.
2. Matching gift program
Under this program, the company/organization sets a fixed figure for monetary donations, and then donates an amount that is equivalent to that fixed figure multiplied by the actual numerical achievement. This program allows companies and organizations to comfortably participate on an ongoing basis.
a. Matching gift based on company sales (units sold, %)
For example, setting a 1 yen donation amount per 1 unit sold would mean that 100,000 units sold will raise a 100,000 yen donation.
b. Matching gift based on volunteer hours served by employees
If a company set a 1 yen donation amount per 1 minute of employee volunteer work and 100 employees volunteered 3 hours per month, the company would donate 216,000 yen for the year.
c. Matching gift based on in-house monetary donations
Under this method, the company would host a donation box(es) at the workplace, solicit donations, and donate the same amount as the donation amount collected in the donation box(es). This is a good way to enhance the employees’ sense of participation in fund-raising or social contributions.

Is my donation tax deductible?

Ronald McDonald House Charities Japan is a public interest incorporated foundation. Donations therefore offer a tax advantage for corporate tax and other such taxes.

Favorable Tax treatment
Our foundation is a legal entity promoting public welfare.
If an individual or a firm makes a donation, they would receive a favorable tax treatment.

INDIVIDUAL
40% of the amount of donation or income, whichever is lower minus 2,000yen.
This amount will be exempted from your taxable income. It is necessary to fill an income tax return in order to receive tax preference.

FIRM
Besides the usual donation, the following is the deductible amount for donation. (5% of the total income + capital amount x 0.25%) x 1/2
For example during a fiscal year,
(1) If you have 50 for general donation section, you can have another 50 for the separate section. but you can not inadequately apply for excess portion of general donation section.
(2)Inhabitant Tax and enterprise tax also apply the same formula as above “FIRM”.

What you need
Please attach our receipt when you make a tax filing.
