From December 1 to December 26, 2025, in conjunction with the nationwide "Donation Month," we launched a campaign to recruit allies for the future.
First, to everyone who supported us during this period through donations, shares, messages, and introductions:
Thank you very much.
Including a reflection on Donation Month, I would like to convey some thoughts from Ayumi here.
What We Wanted to Convey During Donation Month
This Donation Month was not just a period for soliciting donations.
・Why Ayumi continues this activity
・What "Flat." has built up (and what is still lacking)
・The future Ayumi wants to realize by 2030
・What is necessary to continue delivering "accurate and easy-to-understand information" even in the AI era
We expressed these backgrounds and visions as honestly as possible.
And what we reaffirmed is that the value Ayumi should deliver is not just the "quantity of information," but experiential knowledge (real information × personal stories × support = real voices).
The "real struggles" of those involved transform into "accessibility" for the next person. That is the reason we continue.
What We Will Strengthen with Your Support
The donations we received will be carefully used mainly for the following purposes.
- Maintaining the update frequency of "Flat." (article production and operational costs)
- Improving compensation for writers with disabilities
- Measures to provide accurate and easy-to-understand information even in AI searches
- Analysis and rewriting for higher Google search rankings
- Enhancing clarity through design and video editing
In an era where "just having information" is not enough, we will continue to invest in making it accessible.
To Those Who Supported Us
Ayumi aims to make donations feel like an investment in the future rather than "just support." Through this Donation Month, we received many words of encouragement and empathy, which saved us many times.
This activity cannot continue with just us alone.
Your presence is Ayumi's driving force. Thank you very much.
*We will gradually reach out to donors with invitations to activity reports and community events.
We Are Still Looking for Allies
Although Donation Month has ended, Ayumi's challenge continues. We are still looking for allies to help create a society with choices, regardless of disabilities.
We appreciate your continued support for the Ayumi Foundation.
