"PTNA CrossGiving Project", launched in March 2012, is pleased to introduce the new list of individual / group projects and desired amounts of contributions according to their purposes and scales of activities. Those projects are led by PTNA members in pursuit of public benefits within the music field. They are categorized into three areas as follows; 1) education, 2)charity, 3)public service.
The principal aim of the "CrossGiving" is to let the music and the people in the music field pay more important roles in the society. Contribution is one of the ways to manifest our wish, and to make engagement to the society. Through the "exchange" of those contributions one another, the sense of gratitude would go across dynamically and keep the society alive.
On receiving the contributions, PTNA will add the same amouhttp://www.piano.or.jp/info/crossgiving/nt onto them to make the total contributions double ("matching gift"). Please feel free to choose projects of your interest and make contributions online. Here is the list.
