Your generous donation provides the vital support that empowers us to implement our projects on the ground.
Donate via Every.org
PBV accepts contributions through Every.org, a nonprofit platform in partnership with Myriad USA. This option supports a wide range of payment methods, including credit cards, PayPal, Venmo, cryptocurrency, and stocks.
For U.S. taxpayers, donations made via this platform are tax-deductible under 501(c)(3) status.
Donate via Benevity
PBV is a registered charity on Benevity, a global corporate social responsibility (CSR) platform. In partnership with Benevity, we offer a streamlined way for companies and their employees to contribute as part of their corporate philanthropy programs.
If your organization is a Benevity client, you can make a donation—often with the benefit of employer matching gifts—directly through your company’s portal. Please visit the Benevity website for more details.
Donate via Credit Card
We accept secure online donations via Stripe, a leading global payment processor. This option allows you to contribute quickly and safely using Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.

Donate via Bank Transfer
We also accept contributions via bank transfer in Japanese Yen (JPY) and US Dollars (USD).
Please be aware that international remittances incur substantial transaction fees charged by the sending, intermediary, and receiving banks. These fees will be deducted from your total contribution, which can significantly reduce the final amount that reaches us.
To ensure your contribution has the greatest possible impact, we recommend considering Credit Card or Every.org as more cost-effective alternatives. If you still prefer to donate via bank transfer, please contact us at relief[@]pbv.or.jp for bank transfer instructions.
