HS Voices Connect Japan (HSVCJ) shares the experiences of people living with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and works to reduce isolation.
We are working toward becoming a general incorporated association in Japan to support continuity and accountable management.
We welcome your support with the costs of incorporation.
Why we are seeking incorporation
HSVCJ began as a small, personal initiative.
As our activities have continued,
we have identified challenges that are difficult to address as an unincorporated group:
- Working with medical institutions, companies and related organizations
- Improving continuity and transparency
- Establishing a framework for donations and other support
- Making our organizational standing clear
- Building a stable foundation for future activities
We are pursuing incorporation to address these challenges and continue our work.
Fundraising goal
Goal: JPY 150,000
Planned use: incorporation costs
- Notarization of the articles of incorporation
- Registration of the association
- Certificates, documents, postage and other actual expenses
- Other administrative costs required for incorporation
Any funds above the goal will be used for initial operating costs and establishing the organization's working foundation after incorporation.
What matters to HSVCJ
You are welcome simply to read. You do not have to share your own experiences.
We want to remain available when needed, while respecting each person's choice about how to take part.
