Tansa is an independent, nonprofit, investigative newsroom based in Tokyo. Our investigations reveal - and aim thereby to end - wrongdoing by the powerful, such as government bodies and corporations. We approach our work by considering what needs to change in order to achieve redress for injustice and ensure that others are not harmed by similar wrongdoing in the future. In 2020, Japan ranked 66th in Reporters Without Borders' World Press Freedom Index. The country's major media organizations, prioritizing their own business interests, often fail to sufficiently monitor power or to speak up for the victims of its abuses. We believe independent, investigative journalism is essential for the Japanese public. As governments, corporations, and criminals increasingly work across borders, so too must the journalists who investigate them. In 2018, Tansa became Japan's first official member of the Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN), which as of February 2021 is comprised of 203 independent, nonprofit media organizations in 80 countries.

Japan Commitee for UNICEF is one of National Committees for United Nations Children's Fund. It is an integral part of UNICEF's global organization and a unique feature of UNICEF. Currently there are 34 National Committees in the world, each established as an independent local non-governmental organization. Serving as the public face and dedicated voice of UNICEF, the National Committees work tirelessly to raise funds from the private sector, promote children's rights and secure worldwide visibility for children threatened by poverty, disasters, armed conflict, abuse and exploitation. UNICEF is funded exclusively by voluntary contributions, and the National Committees collectively raise around one-third of UNICEF's annual income. This comes through contributions from corporations, civil society organizations and individual donors. They also rally many different partners - including the media, national and local government officials, NGOs, specialists such as doctors and lawyers, corporations, schools, young people and the general public - on issues related to children's rights.

ReBit's mission is to help develop people's open-mindedness and readiness to accept each other's individuality, by approaching each member of the society, promoting values of mutual respect and open-mindedness, and thereby generating change-makers who can make transformation happen in the society. We set this mission based on the awareness that our society is suffering from a vicious circle of negative influence from and toward LGBT and non-LGBT individuals. Although both parties should be regarded as stakeholders (for they both are affected by various problems stemming from the lack of understanding about LGBT issues), many still believe that those with LGBT identities are the only stakeholders of LGBT issues. Consequently, those who do not see themselves as LGBT are hardly aware that they, too, are a stakeholder of LGBT issues. This organization problematizes this situation and aims to realize the society where everyone, including but not limited to those who identify themselves as LGBT, willingly accepts each other's individuality.
