"Common Good Grant Project" Awarded Grants to Support the Local Communities

Starting in 2021, the Service-Learning Center, in partnership with, the Japan International Christian University Foundation (JICUF), is holding the "Common Good Grant (CGG) Project" to support the local community around ICU. The CGG provides 1 million yen in funding from the JICUF to local non-profit organizations with the goal of revitalizing the local community.

The CGG is a student-led activity. The CGG student committee researched non-profit organizations near the ICU campus and solicited grant applications from them. After the applications were received, the committee reviewed the applications and made a final decision on how to distribute the ¥1,000,000. Through this project, ICU students experience the entire process of funding local non-profit organizations, from grant solicitation to grantee determination and reporting , while strengthening the bonds between ICU and the local community.

The student committee has decided to award grants to four organizations for AY2023.

• Afutafu-Barban
• Goo-goo-libe
• Mitaka Chuo-dori Shopping Association "WALKABLE MITAKA"
• Taka Loco Network Daigaku
