Building a new Shogi Hall — Japan Shogi Association (six rounds)

156% funded¥940,000,000 raised of ¥600,000,00028,919 backers🏆 Success story

Conclusion: ¥940M from 28,919 backers across six rounds — a monument to persistence (2021–24, funded).

Why it endures

To rebuild its ageing halls, the Japan Shogi Association ran six successive campaigns. Far surpassing its goals, it gathered a cumulative ¥940M from 28,919 backers — with crowd-pleasing rewards like watching a special game between chairman Yoshiharu Habu and Sōta Fujii.

What moved people

A centennial milestone and the cause of preserving shogi for the next generation. The standout is how a multi-round, sustained effort compounded the circle of support.

Editor's note

A model for scaling via long, staged fundraising. The link points to the final, sixth round. Campaigns have ended.
