READYFOR Co., Ltd. and Kids Door, a certified non-profit organization, will provide subsidies to organizations that support children and students in economically deprived families through the "Aggravated'Corona Learning Gap'Emergency Support Project." ..As a result of the adoption, it was announced that a total of 17 million yen would be subsidized to 2 organizations.

 READYFOR and Kids Door have been jointly adopted by the Japan Network for Public Interest Activities as a fund distribution organization for dormant deposits (deposits that have not been traded for more than 10 years).Based on the "emergency support subsidy for the new coronavirus" of the same organization, we will jointly implement the "increasing'corona learning disparity'emergency support project".

 In this project, we will subsidize business funds for organizations that support children and students in economically deprived families, support policy planning based on a professional perspective on supporting children at Kids Door, and provide training seminars. We provide accompanying programs such as non-financial support such as business operation support by READYFOR.

 During the open recruitment period from September 2021th to October 9th, 29, a total of 10 organizations applied for a total of about 18 billion yen.Based on the application information, we will conduct multiple examinations, and based on the opinions of the advisory board including experts, the final deliberation will be held at the project management office, and the recipient will be selected.There were 277 grant recipients, and the total amount of grants reached 48 million yen (as of December 17).

 In the selection, factors such as "business validity," "feasibility," "pioneering (innovation)," and "governance and compliance" are taken into consideration.As the impact of the new coronavirus infectious disease on society continues, business content that responds to new support needs, including hands-on activities and cooperation / collaboration with the local community, has been preferentially adopted.

 In the selection process, Yumiko Watanabe, President of Kids Door, said, "Children have been severely damaged by the corona disaster. I go to school every day to talk with my friends, play with all my might, athletic meet and school trip, cultural festival and chorus contest ... Various things that everyone could enjoy are being deprived of children. I hope that this grant will fill the children's sense of loss and lead to a brighter future. "
