Even with crowdfunding sites, we have to check that, after collecting the funds, the fees when transferring to the charities, which are both in Japan, would be minimal. Maybe going for a Japanese crowdfunding system could prevent the double fee? I know language can be an issue but hopefully we can find one in English? I'd need to do some research though, because I have no idea right now.

 

Edit: At this point, I think we can agree on a tie and let people choose individually which one they want. One or two more votes won't change the general result.

Planet uses GoFundMe. Would this be a good site to use? I've never used it 

I don't know. maybe? 

I voted but I don't feel strongly either way.  If someone does, they should speak up. 

 

I don't know the logistics of donating internationally but if it's easier and means more money goes to the charity because of fees, then I'm happy to just donate to whichever one you choose.  

I can directly contact Playground for Hope (since they speak English) and explain our project. They might have a preference for a certain crowdfunding system?

We could do the same for the ice rink of course... but we probably need a Japanese speaker.
