Do you accept donations of supplies?
A. As transporting supplies poses logistical challenges, such as the time and expense involved, and hygiene issues arise with managing them, we ask that you donate money or securities, rather than supplies. We strive to provide efficient support so that the donations you make can be used to provide the necessary sanitary products to the schools we donate to.
If I make a donation, is there a tax deduction?
A. Although Red Box Japan is a non-profit organization, it is an NPO and is therefore not eligible for tax benefits such as donation deductions.
If the donor is an individual, there is no deduction for the donation when filing income tax returns. If the donor is a corporation (company), the donation can be deducted up to the deductible expense limit calculated according to the amount of capital, etc. and the amount of income.
