1-2. Outline

The JFGE is supported by the government's endowment, individual donation and corporate contributions. The investment gains (interest) and subsidies from the government are applied for the projects that support NGO activities.

The JFGE has two main programs.

(1) Grants Program

Grants are available for NGOs activity to conserve the environment.

(2) NGO Support Program

The NGO Support Program offers support to NGOs involved in activities to conserve the environment and to citizens supporting those activities, through providing information, research and studies, and training for personnel.

To oversee the awarding of grants and other fund administrative duties, a Japan Fund for Global Environment Management Council was established from experts of various fields.
