It's just me (and AI),
building and gathering.
More people involved means more places reached.
I've designed Toneriko to keep running even if something happens to me,
but with funding, I can gather information faster and keep it going longer.

About Donation Handling
- Toneriko is currently operated as a personal project, so donations are received as personal contributions.
- Donations are not tax-deductible. Thank you for your understanding.
- How donations are used will be transparently published on this page each month.
- We are considering incorporation as an NPO in the future. After incorporation, proper accounting and receipt issuance will be provided.
- Donations are generally non-refundable, but refunds are available for accidental overcharges, duplicate payments, or unauthorized transactions. Monthly support can be cancelled at any time. See our Terms of Service for details.
Seed-Planting Phase
Started by building the delivery system from the ground up
URL-Driven Platform
Every organization has its own URL. No app needed — just share the link.
Auto-Generated Flyers
A4 flyers with QR codes, generated with one button press.
AI Search Engine
Describe your situation in plain words and AI suggests organizations that might help.
Batch Printing
Clip the ones you like and print them all together as a pamphlet.
What we're working on now
Building the system while gradually improving the data.
Collecting data with AI
Starting from Cabinet Office data, AI is filling in missing contact info across Japan. It's all self-funded so progress is slow, but we're expanding city by city.
View collection progressAsking government for help
We're reaching out to prefectural governments and Social Welfare Councils for data. Whatever they share goes directly into better search results.
Listening to users
"Easy to use" matters most, so we're collecting feedback. What people tell us shapes what we build next.
Autonomous AI updates
Building systems where AI handles data collection, reporting, and health checks automatically. The goal is a service that keeps running even if I can't.
What's ahead
More support means more we can do
Self-Sustaining Operations
- Automated Nationwide NPO Portal Crawling
AI visits NPO portals across Japan and collects information automatically.
- Transparency for AI-Collected Data
AI-collected info gets a clear tag so you know where it came from.
- Beginning Civic Organization Research
Going beyond NPOs to include volunteer groups and civic organizations too.
When we get there —
Server, AI, and domain costs are covered by supporters. The project shifts from "one person's determination" to "everyone's support." That alone makes all the difference.
Sustainable Operations
I run this alongside my work as a Buddhist priest. If the project can pay me fairly, it goes from "doing it because I care" to "doing it properly." That stability makes the service better for everyone.

It's still a small tree. Will you help it grow?
Small bits of support add up to more information in more communities,
helping people find a place to turn to when they need it.
