Article 1 (Purpose)
The purpose of this policy is to set out the necessary matters regarding the solicitation, receipt, management, and reporting on the use of donations accepted by Good Luck (General Incorporated Association) (hereinafter "the Association").
Article 2 (Definition)
In this policy, "donations" means money provided, without expecting anything in return, by individuals, corporations, or organizations who support the Association's purpose and activities.
Article 3 (Solicitation and Use)
The Association solicits donations to fund the activities that achieve the purpose set out in Article 3 of its Articles of Incorporation (running a creative hub for children, food and learning programs, community building using idle urban land, survey, research, and recommendations, and more). Part of the donations may go to administrative costs (office work, accounting, communications, and more) to the extent necessary to keep these activities going.
Article 4 (Restrictions on Acceptance)
The Association does not accept donations that fall under any of the following items. If this becomes clear after receipt, the donation may be returned.
- Donations with purposes or conditions that violate laws and regulations, public order and morals, or the Association's Articles of Incorporation
- Donations from anti-social forces or persons equivalent to them
- Donations that may allow the donor to exert undue influence on the Association's operations or decision-making
- Donations whose acceptance may place a serious burden on the Association's finances or credibility
Article 5 (Response After Receipt)
When the Association receives a donation, it will promptly express its thanks. It issues a receipt on request. The Association is a non-profit general incorporated association, and the receipts it issues are not certificates for applying the donation deduction.
Article 6 (Refunds)
Because of their nature, donations are not refunded as a rule. However, if there is a clear processing error such as a duplicate charge, we will refund it at the donor's request. A monthly donation (monthly supporter) will be stopped at any time, from the next billing, at the donor's request.
Article 7 (Reporting on Use)
The Association reports on the donations received and how they are used for each fiscal year, in its annual report and on the Transparency page of its website.
Article 8 (Protection of Personal Information)
The Association manages donors' personal information appropriately in accordance with its Privacy Policy, and does not use it for any purpose other than managing receipt of donations, issuing receipts, and sending thanks and activity reports.
Article 9 (Publication of Donors)
Only with the donor's consent may the Association publish the donor's name on its website, in its annual report, and elsewhere. If a donor asks not to be published, we will not publish.
Article 10 (Amendments)
This policy may be amended by resolution of the board of directors.
