Airfunding, a global donation-based crowdfunding platform aims to help millions of Filipinos fund raise towards their goals especially during this pandemic.

Kiheitai Inc., a Tokyo-based digital company that owns the crowdfunding site called Airfunding is gearing up to become the Philippines’ leading donation-based crowdfunding platform. In its 3 years of operations, Airfunding has helped close to a million people around the world get funding for medical and other personal or community needs. In the Philippines alone, Airfunding has helped over 30,000 Filipinos raise funds for any cause especially in this time of pandemic where people need financial assistance to pay for their medical, business, community, or even personal needs. To date, approximately $400,000 in support has been generated on Airfunding through more than 30,000 projects in the Philippines since it started in May 2018.

The most successful project to date is from Glen and Melissa Atienzo, of the Philippines who raised almost Php 300,000 to help pay for a liver transplant for Melissa’s husband who was diagnosed with end-stage liver cirrhosis. Another project who has garnered a relevant amount of support is a project from Anette Rose Ajos who raised Php 39,584.35 to help pay for her pre-mature-born baby’s daily medical expenses. Airfunding  is a global donation-type crowdfunding platform that allows people not only to open projects but also to donate and to share on Social Media Networks so other people can help by donating.

Airfunding is a fundraising platform that specializes in small-scale projects made by individuals, groups, or local NGOs, for a personal cause, community initiative, an event, or just anything that needs funding.  It is a keep-it-all crowdfunding platform, so project owners keep the entire amount collected even if the target has not been met.

Why keep-it-all platform?  ” We believe that even a small amount of money would be a real help to project owners. That is why we decided to make a keep-it-all platform. Our business model relies on tips from the supporter. It’s essentially just a commission but, when you support a project you can choose to tip a percentage of the amount.” – says Ryosuke Abe, CEO of Co-Founder of Kiheitai Inc., the parent group for Airfunding.

Crowdfunding with a Heart

Airfunding as a global company focuses not only on business endeavors but also engages in many humanitarian activities since 2020 where they have actively participated in disaster relief operations, medical missions, and COVID-19 prevention activities across the entire Philippines. Just recently, Airfunding has distributed thousands of Face Masks and Face Shields across Cebu City, Talisay City, the rest of Cebu province, Baguio, Pampanga, Zambales, Bicol, and other cities as an effort to help Filipinos combat the spread of the virus.

With the current world situation, where many people are in dire need of support, Airfunding has bridged the gap of barriers so that everyone can help everyone. Now people can seek help and provide support to almost anyone in the world.

By strengthening its operations in the Philippines,  Airfunding hopes to attract more people to create more projects, whether for personal, for the community or for any cause (so that the world will see and send their support).

Minato-ku, Tokyo, April 19, 2021; Airfunding, a Japan-based crowdfunding platform aims to develop an overseas support program to connect both NGOs and their supporters.

“Airfunding bridge the gap of national borders and cultures for individuals and groups in emerging countries where it is difficult to live a minimum life. As a new service for NGOs, we have started offering a co-creation program where supporters can donate on a monthly basis. This program is called “Airfunding for NGO”. We support organizations that brings positive changes in areas such as education, health care and employment across the globe.” – Ryosuke Abe, CEO, Kiheitai Co., Ltd. (parent company of Airfunding).

Airfunding for NGO Program Outline

Since the launch of Airfunding in 2018, many projects have been created in each country on global issues that cannot be solved by economic growth alone. 76% of projects on Airfunding are from ordinary people in emerging countries such as Southeast Asia and Latin America, most projects focuses on medical, disaster relief, education and personal needs. Approximately $ 200 million in support has been generated on Airfunding through more than 200,000 projects in more than 200 countries worldwide.

Recently, the number of projects that go beyond individual support is increasing, such as cases where organizations specifically, NGOs create projects and where individuals create projects to benefit NGOs. Most projects aim to solve social issues, such as medical care, poverty, education, and employment, which are very prevalent in their country.

In view of this situation, this program selects groups that are working on social issues in their own country along with the goals of SDGs from among the groups that are not yet known in the world. Through subscription-type crowdfunding, Airfunding will be able to help generate supporters that will help these NGOs across the globe.

Airfunding for NGO Program Outline

As of April 2021, 5 organizations from 5 countries, Nigeria, Colombia, Uganda, Indonesia and Sierra Leone, are participating, and the number will increase from time to time.

Each of the five organizations is working on issues such as education, hygiene, medical care, and employment, which are issues in their own countries.

There are three options for subscription plans that provide monthly flat-rate support: $ 20, $ 100, and 

$ 500.

Since the support money reaches the project owner directly, the purpose of use is clear, and even after the support, you can communicate directly with the project owner, so you can watch their efforts up close.
