Seeking New Sponsors
IDFC is currently seeking the following two types of sponsors.
Companies
We at IDFC International Development Field Camp for Myanmar and Japan Youth Leaders work toward the main conference held every February under the vision that “young people in Japan and Myanmar create their own opportunities for exchange and build relationships for the future.” At the main conference, we provide a setting where 30 students from the two countries discuss shared social issues and deepen mutual understanding.
IDFC’s activities are funded mainly by grants from foundations and participation fees (Japan side: ¥95,000; Myanmar side: ¥25,000). However, grants from foundations present obstacles to continuity, such as restrictions on consecutive awards. As for participation fees, we aim to reduce the fee for participants from Myanmar because we want to open the door more widely to students there, where disparities between rich and poor are especially pronounced.
For IDFC to remain a platform for ambitious young people from Japan and Myanmar, support from companies is essential. We therefore ask whether you would be able to provide financial assistance for organizing and running the conference. We would also greatly appreciate sponsorship in the form of in-kind support.
If you are considering supporting us, we would appreciate hearing from you. Please contact us through the inquiry page.
Individual Supporters
The IDFC International Development Field Camp for Myanmar and Japan Youth Leaders is a student organization that aims to develop globally minded people and leadership through discussions of social issues shared by Japan and Myanmar, and through cultural exchange. Students handle everything from planning the main conference to fundraising, and we continue to serve as a platform that contributes to society in both countries.
A stable financial foundation is essential for us to sustain our activities. We would therefore appreciate your financial support for holding and running the conference. All members of the IDFC Executive Committee sincerely look forward to your support.
We welcome contributions from individual supporters starting at ¥10,000 per unit. If you are considering supporting us, we would appreciate hearing from you.
