Funding Information

  • Providing grant is for one year, from 1st April 2020 to 31st March 2021.

Eligible Fields
  • Social activities based on the spirit of religious principles
  • Social activities based on the spirit of religious principals are defined as those undertaken for individual and community welfare and peace, both physical and spiritual, based on the spirit of religious principles that emerge from reverence for God, Buddha, or other universal spiritual reality.
  • In particular, these include peace-making activities related to education, volunteer work, development cooperation, environmental protection, human rights or the social problems of aging societies done in the spirit of religious principles which transcend religious boundaries.
  • Grass-roots activities deployed in a local community
  • Activities to vitalize local communities through interdisciplinary workshops and meetings with particular emphasis on collaboration by groups and individuals from diverse organizations and religious groups.
  • It is expected that local communities will come up with some new values with an independent mind.
  • Examples would be workshops and outreach programs to inspire people to think about how people living in faraway countries are related to their own lives, or to encourage development of local activities in which people “think globally, and act locally.”

Eligible Projects/Activities
  • Activities which are consistent with the theme of NPF’s activity grant for fiscal year 2019.
  • Practical activities, short-term or long-term, directly related to peace building.

  • Activities based on or for the advancement of a specific political ideology.
