43 funds for the promotion of art and culture as well as for the preservation and utilization of cultural properties have been established and financed in 32 prefectures, while 14 such funds can be found in 9 designated cities and 86 funds in 80 municipalities.

There has been a recent increase in the number of funds that are financed jointly by prefectures/designated cities and the private sector, which indicates that a system of cooperation for the promotion of cultural projects has developed between the public and private sectors.
