Let’s talk about "Social Impact Management" fornon-profit organizations!

Since it is not always possible for non-profit organizations to generate revenues from the target audience for their services andbusiness, they are required to balance the two aspects of creating social impact through their business and obtaining funding to
run their business at the same time. However, it is not easy to succeed in both of these areas, and it is necessary to createsynergy by working on both the business and the financial resources in an integrated manner.
In this session, we will discuss the significance of "social impact management," which is a series of initiatives to expand thesocial impact of business, and "fundraising," which is an initiative to strategically reinforce funds and human resources forbusiness, and how we can create synergies for nonprofit organizations. We will discuss with participants the significance of"social impact management," a series of initiatives to enhance the social impact of nonprofit organizations, and "fundraising,"
an initiative to strategically reinforce the financial and human resources for business, and how synergies can be created.
* This session will be held in collaboration with the Japan Fundraising Association (JFRA). On February 18 and 19, 2023, theassociation will hold a conference "FRJ2023｜Fundraising Japan 2023 - Your Steps Will Change You and Change Society,"
which will not only focus on the latest trends in donations and fundraising, but also on a wide variety of topics such as bequests,
wealthy donors, and social impact. We hope you will consider attending FRJ2023 as well as Social Impact Day 2023.

active on the front lines, such as how they became interested in this area, what they thought about, what
twists and turns they went through in their careers, and what they have thought about through their work.

Practicing Social Impact Management - What the
government expects from the private sector

The Impact Economy is being practiced by a growing number of financial institutions, large corporations, start-ups,
and non-profit organizations. At the same time, governments are beginning to require private sector organizations
to practice social impact management. In this session, we would like to share and discuss what we have learned
through trial and error from various perspectives, such as the objectives and challenges for which the government
requires private organizations to have a clear impact, and the key points for increasing synergy throughpublic-private partnerships. We hope that this session will provide hints for private organizations to collaborate withthe government.
