partnership
（２） JFGE started “Corporate partnership project” in which JEGE provide grant under the name of donated company.
Based on donation of company/association, JEGE calls for applicant, decides grant destinations, provides grant under the name of donated company/association, and manages accounts.
Through this system, companies can build up public-interest activities as same as they establish their own environment subsidization foundations.
From 2015, by the donation of JAPAN FISHING TACKLE MANUFACTURERS
ASSOCIATION, “Love Blue grant” for water
environment was started.
JFGE makes a press release when
we start accepting applications
and decide grant.
