Hiroro (Ekimae-cho, Hirosaki-shi) 3rd floor multi-generation exchange room, on May 12th, an information session for the regional crowdfunding service "FAAVO Tsugaru Shirakami" was held.

FAAVO is a crowdfunding site specializing in projects that excite the region under the concept of "community-based" operated by "Search Field" (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo). On April 27, "FAAVO Tsugaru Shirakami" was launched by NPO Musubime Tsugaru Shirakami.

This service sets funds required for the realization of the project and the application period, and uses the Internet to collect support funds. At the briefing session, Masahiro Kawamura of the same NPO said, “It is important to get the “sympathy” of the supporters. Instead of trying hard alone, the inventor wants to make many friends and work toward realization”.

About 20 people participated in the venue on this day. Local apple farmers, students, and people from the Neputa management group gathered.

Tsugaru flute player Bunta Sato said, "I want to open a national flute contest, but I was having trouble finding a way to get a budget. I've always been interested in crowdfunding, for example in the prefecture of Tokyo. It is effective when you want to efficiently collect the investment from the people's association."

Mr. Kawamura said, "I will give advice on how to make an introduction page and stories, photos, sentences etc. If you do not gather, you will not be able to get support money and you will not lose, so use it as a PR to introduce your efforts I want it".

The information session will be held on the second Thursday of every month.
