2022年度（2022年7月～2023年6月）の報告書をこちらに添付致します。年度の始めにはパキスタンで記録的な大洪水となり、支援団体を通じた緊急募金と支援を呼びかけました。また2022年の10月にはマラウイのLGBT難民へ提供されていた安全なシェルターが突然閉所となり、財団から代表理事がマラウイを訪問して国連難民高等弁務官事務所（UNHCR）などと協議を行いました。長引くウクライナでの戦争とウクライナ難民の増加を受けて、マラウイの難民キャンプの予算は半減され、LGBT難民への保護も打ち切らる危機的状況が続いています。こうした中で、多くの方々からご寄付を頂いておりますこと、大変心強く感じております。下記の年次報告書と財務諸表を通じて、宗像財団の活動をより良くみなさまにお伝えできますと幸いです。

FY2021 was a delightful year since 3 years of Munakata Grants successfully completed in Madagascar and Mozambique. In Mozambique, Munakata supported Youth Impact Lab, the safe space for youth and minorities and in total 26,214 people received benefits. In Mozambique, the complete renovation of the medical clinic, school, and provision of community well transformed the lives in an isolated village.
Our grant is a small seed, but since it is always planted in the right place under the right leadership carefully selected by our visit, it always makes a great impact on the community. We truly look forward to your cooperation and financial support.
Munakata Grant is your great investment for the future.

COVID-19 has impacted the lives of many, especially gender and sexual minorities most societies exclude. Munakata Grant responded to the additional needs of trans-women in Lahore and Karachi in Pakistan and LGBTI refugees in Malawi this year. Our Board Members also give their hearts to all our partner organizations whose grant ends this year, and suggested the extension of grant in most needed cases.
During this time of difficulties, I feel grateful about all the hard work made by our partner organizations, and all board members who enabled us to provide timely and generous support to them. Please take a look at our business report and give your suggestions and comments for our continuous improvement.

I am writing this message during the turmoil of COVID-19 pandemic which none of us predicted just 6 months ago. In Kolkata, India, our grant project site was completely destroyed by Cyclone and almost all families lost their livelihoods by Colona and Cyclone Amphan. Transgender Women in Pakistan also faces severe financial and health threats, as many of them have weak immune systems due to HIV. During this moment of difficulties, Munakata Grant sent extra funds for our partner organizations which reached more than 1,200 women and children.
Due to this pandemic, our lives themselves are facing unprecedented challenges, but hope some of us also imagine the distress and despair of women and children in rural India and provide your financial resources to Munakata Grant.
Sincerely,
Mana Tanaka

This is the very first fiscal year report Munakata Foundation published on a website which was compiled based on the Act on General Incorporated Associations and General Incorporated Foundations (Japan).
We created this foundation based on the strong will of “bringing the utmost for people”, NOT for “people who help people”. Below is the very UNIQUE character and dogma of our expense.
2019 will be another year to expand Munakata Grant to a new country; Pakistan. We will also visit countries of our current grant partners; India, Malawi, Madagascar, and Mozambique.
