Sumida City reviews and grants up to ¥500,000 toward activity costs of nonprofit groups that carry out childcare support activities for people under 18 in the city. Eligible groups include those running parenting classes, places where parents and children gather such as childcare hiroba and children's cafeterias, and educational activities such as programming. It is a grant for groups, not a program that families raising children apply for directly. FY2026 (April 2026–March 2027) grant recipients were announced on the city's page on September 1, 2026. Contact the Community Childcare section, Community Childcare Division (03-5608-1438).
Nationality and residence status
The official page (checked in October 2026) sets no condition on nationality or residence status that we found. Eligibility follows the official conditions, not the language of this page; many programs require resident registration in the municipality.
