In April 2004, The Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for Informatics and Technology opened as Japan’s first professional graduate school for IT, building on the legacy of Kyoto Computer Gakuin (KCG), Japan’s first computer education institution.Since our founding, we have been striving to develop business leaders in the IT field under the philosophy of "Cultivation of Applied Information Technology Specialists with Advanced Practical Skills and Creativity to Respond to the Needs of Society, Lead the Age, and Lead the Next Generation".
Currently, in addition to our main campus in Kyoto, the university has established satellite campuses in Sapporo and Tokyo. Kyoto Computer Gakuin comprises three campuses—Rakuhoku, Kamogawa, and Kyoto Ekimae Campus—and the KCG Group has grown into one of Japan’s leading institutions for information technology education, boasting more than 50,000 alumni.
In 2014, Kyoto Computer Gakuin Automobile School joined the KCG Group. In the future, in addition to conventional automobile maintenance, we promote the development of human resources with knowledge of IT such as automobile control, which is a specialized field of KCG.
Now, in today’s highly information-driven society, as IT-related fields continue to expand and evolve rapidly, we are implementing initiatives to strengthen education and research—such as introducing the latest educational equipment every year—with the aim of further improving our educational and research environment.In the future, we plan to expand the educational and research environment to meet the increasingly sophisticated and complex demands of society, and to improve various facilities.
In carrying out this improvement plan, The Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for Informatics has been engaged in a fund-raising campaign for the "Kyoto Graduate School of Information Technology Education Promotion Project" and is soliciting donations from a wide range of people. We therefore ask for your understanding of the above and kindly request your cooperation.
The names of those who have made donations will be kept on record and will be reported in the bulletin 'Accum' of the Alumni Association.

Donations to our university are eligible for the following tax benefits.
Case of Corporate Donations
The amount of the donation is included in deductible expenses for the fiscal year under one of the following systems.
In particular, the " Designated Recipient Donation” is very advantageous to donors because the entire amount donated can be included in deductible expenses.
Designated Recipient Donation
Our university is eligible for the “Designated Donation Recipient System” administered by the Japan Private School Promotion and Mutual Aid Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Private School Corporation”).
Under this system, the university holds donations made to the school corporation by corporations and other legal entities. After the university submits an application to the Private School Foundation, the Foundation issues a “Donation Receipt” through the university.
By using this system, it is possible to receive tax benefits, such as the inclusion of all donations from corporations in deductible expenses.
*The "donation receipt" issued by the Promotion and Mutual Aid Corporation for Private Schools of Japan is required to apply for the deduction.
This "donation receipt" will be sent via The Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for Informatics.

Individual Donations
Treatment of Income Tax Deductions
Donations made by individuals to this university have been certified by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology as eligible for a tax deduction, and donors may claim a deduction on their income tax returns.
If the donation amount exceeds 2,000 yen, the amount exceeding that threshold will be deducted from your taxable income for that year (up to a limit of 40% of your taxable income).Upon receiving your donation, we will send you a “Donation Receipt” issued by our university and a “Certificate of Designation as a Specified Public Interest Promotion Corporation (copy).” Please submit both documents to your local tax office when filing your tax return.
Calculation method of income deduction
Income tax deduction for a person with an annual income of 3 million yen who donates 50,000 yen (provided the donation is within 40% of their income)
50,000 yen (donation amount) – 2,000 yen = 48,000 yen (income tax deduction)
Income tax deduction for a person with an annual income of 10 million yen who donates 5 million yen (when the donation exceeds 40% of income)
10 million yen (annual income) × 40% = 4 million yen (income deduction limit)
4 million yen (income deduction limit) – 2,000 yen = 3,998,000 yen (income deduction amount)
