From Support to Co-creation: NPO Collaboration Organization and KPMG Partner to Scale Social Impact

Event Overview

The General Association NPO Collaboration Organization is set to host "From Support to Co-creation," a collaborative event scheduled for Saturday, September 26, 2026. This initiative was designed to address increasingly multifaceted social challenges by encouraging NPOs, civic groups, and corporate entities to move beyond the traditional "donor-recipient" relationship and explore new possibilities as strategic partners in co-creation.

Background and Objectives

Recognizing that individual organizations face inherent limits when tackling systemic social issues, this event centers on maximizing social impact through the core concepts of "empathy" and "participation." The program aims to provide NPOs with the tools to strengthen their organizational foundations for long-term sustainability, while helping corporations transform their social responsibility (CSR) activities into meaningful value creation.

Speakers and Program

The event will be held in a hybrid format, hosted at the Shinjuku NPO Collaboration Promotion Center (Meeting Room 501) and streamed via Zoom. To provide practical insights into fundraising, organizational capacity building, and the articulation of social impact, the session will feature a panel of experts including Kanade Okada of the certified NPO Charity Santa, Masako Komai from the Civic Society Venture Fund, and Kanon Nakayama from KPMG Consulting.

Future Outlook

By strengthening the networks between NPOs, corporations, and community organizations, this event seeks to catalyze specific collaborative projects. The ultimate goal is to foster a sustainable ecosystem for regional co-creation, ensuring that social impact remains both scalable and enduring.
