academist features a diverse range of projects by fascinating researchers, including those challenging unprecedented research, studying niche subjects for years, and aiming to solve grand societal issues. What they all have in common is a vision driving their research activities forward.
Would you like to support researchers who resonate with your vision and work towards its realization together?
Projects labeled as "Donation Type" treat support funds as donations to the university or research institution the researcher belongs to. In this case, tax benefits are available. Please check each project page for specific tax benefits or donation receipt issuance dates.
Projects without the "Donation Type" label are considered "Purchase Type," and a 10% consumption tax is applied to the support amount. Receipts issued by us can be downloaded from the academist supporter my page after the project period ends.
Currently, academist Crowdfunding accepts credit card payments (Visa / Mastercard), bank transfers, convenience store payments, Paypal payments, and Payeasy payments. For credit card payments, charges are made after the project period ends. For other payment methods, payment is required by the payment deadline after applying for support.
If the target amount is reached, we receive 17% of the total support amount as an achievement reward. Additionally, a payment processing fee of 3% is included in the support amount.
Example) If we receive support of 10,000 yen, the challenger will receive 8,000 yen.
