Promoting the Activation of Cultural and Artistic Donation Culture through Sponsoring Companies (Organizations)

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon Cultural Foundation (Chairman Heo Seok) is recruiting sponsors to participate in cultural donations for the development of local culture and arts.

The Suncheon Cultural Foundation (hereinafter referred to as the Foundation) was designated as a professional arts corporation and a designated donation organization in May and June, respectively, and has begun full-scale fundraising.

In July, the first donor (individual) appeared, opening the way for cultural donations, and since then, inquiries from companies (organizations) for sponsorship have continued.

The donations will be used in various ways for the development of local culture and arts, including support for professional artists' creation, development of region-specific cultural content, citizens' cultural and artistic enjoyment, and realization of cultural welfare.

Benefits for foundation sponsors include ▲ issuance of donation receipts for tax deduction, ▲ presentation of appreciation plaques, ▲ invitations to planned performances, ▲ sponsor advertisements on the foundation’s website and planned performances, and ▲ free participation in educational programs (for employees of sponsoring companies), with the scope of benefits varying according to the donation amount.

Applications for sponsorship or inquiries about individual sponsorship are accepted by the Management Support Team of the Suncheon Cultural Foundation, and detailed information can be found on the foundation’s website.

In the future, the foundation plans to launch the (tentatively named) Suncheon Cultural Foundation Sponsorship Association, which will unite sponsors and individual donors to foster a continuous culture of donation, and establish a personal regular sponsorship system (CMS) to promote a city-wide cultural donation movement.

Lee Byung-deok, Executive Director of the Suncheon Cultural Foundation, said, “Despite the difficulties caused by COVID-19, we ask for the active participation of companies and organizations that can help blossom local culture and arts and instill hope in local artists through donation support.”
