Congrant

What Congrant does

Congrant (コングラント株式会社) is a Tokyo-headquartered SaaS provider founded in 2018 that operates an all-in-one donation digital transformation (DX) platform for Japan's social sector. The platform combines donation page creation, multi-payment processing (credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPay, Amazon Pay), Salesforce-synced donor CRM, automated tax receipt generation, and crowdfunding modules, serving certified NPOs (認定NPO), public interest corporations (公益法人), and increasingly school corporations, universities, and municipal organizations. The company has grown to serve over 4,000 registered organizations as of March 2026, with cumulative donations processed exceeding ¥159 billion.

The company monetizes through a tiered SaaS subscription model (Free, Light at ¥4,000/month, Standard at ¥8,000/month) combined with transaction processing fees ranging from 3.4% to 8%, plus professional services revenue from Congrant for Business, an enterprise division serving corporate CSR programs, matching gift coordination, charity walk platforms (via the minpo app), and employee volunteer portals. GTM is hybrid: product-led growth with a 30-day free trial for the long tail of small NPOs, supplemented by a dedicated sales team for large enterprise clients such as Sony Bank, Yogibo, NTT Group, KADOKAWA, and Fuso Pharmaceutical. Strategic corporate-sponsored fee-waiver programs (GIVING100 by Yogibo, GIVING for SDGs by Sony Bank) act as both customer acquisition channels and donor-side subsidies.

Congrant operates several sub-brands including GOJO (smart donation app), minpo (charity walking app integrated with Google Fit and Apple Health), and specialized programs (Congrant NEXT for secretariat support, charity walk programs, corporate matching crowdfunding). The company holds Privacy Mark certification from JIPDEC and is GDPR-compliant, holds no disclosed outside venture funding, and is led by Representative Director Masataka Sato. Recent strategic activity includes a designated goods donation feature launch (March 2026), a ZOYO strategic investment, and a Kyoto University joint research partnership aimed at identifying institutional barriers to charitable giving in Japan.
