    Country Report 2018: Japan
    (2018) Yoshioka, Takayuki; Onishi, Tamaki
    In Japan, freedom of assembly, association, and expression are guaranteed under the Constitution, and there are many laws under which individuals can incorporate nonprofit organizations. The primary law for private foundations and associations is the 2008 Act on General Nonprofit Incorporated Associations and General Incorporated Foundations (⼀般社団法⼈及び⼀般財団法⼈ に関する法律). As guaranteed by this law, General Nonprofit Corporations (GNCs), which consist of General Nonprofit Incorporated Associations and Foundations, can be easily established without approval from the government and registered with a registry office. The cost is roughly 120,000 JPY (about US $1,050). As of November 2017, there are approximately 47,000 GNC Associations and 7,000 GNC Foundations (National Tax Agency figures).

    Patterns of Overall Giving in COPPS 2003
    (2006-05-24) Yoshioka, Takayuki
    In this paper, I describe how patterns of overall giving differ across socioeconomic characteristics of households with the data set called the Center on Philanthropy Panel Study (COPPS). The COPPS is the nation’s first and only ongoing philanthropy study surveying the same families every two years, along with the families created by their adult children. The COPPS 2003 wave asks about the value of household charitable contributions, which consist of money, assets, or property given in 2002.

    Representational roles of nonprofit organizations in policy advocacy
    (2014-01-29) Yoshioka, Takayuki; Lenkowsky, Leslie, 1946-; Carmines, Edward G.; Hershey, Marjorie Randon; Perry, James L.
    This research explores what roles nonprofits play in political representation by applying the concept of the representational role to nonprofits. The representational role consists of representational focus and style. Representational focus shows those whom nonprofits aim to serve: members, constituents, or the general public. Representational style denotes the ways nonprofits advocate for their focal groups: the delegation, trusteeship, and educational styles. The survey and regression analysis results demonstrate that nonprofits serving their members are most likely to convey their members’ voices directly to policy makers: the delegation style. In contrast, nonprofits advocating for their constituents are likely to pursue what they independently identify as the interests of their constituents: the trusteeship style. Finally, nonprofits speaking for the general public are most likely to work toward educating the general public: the educational style. These results suggest that nonprofits play different roles in political representation, depending on the types of their focal groups.
