Daejeon City Supports Nonprofit Civic Activities to Address Local Issues

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City announced on the 29th that it has decided to support 270 million won for this year's nonprofit private organization public interest activity support project and will open applications for project candidates until the 26th of next month.

The project is being promoted to support the activities of nonprofit private organizations that have a significant impact on public interest activities and complement and enhance municipal issues.

The application fields include seven areas: citizen safety, eco-friendliness, welfare, culture, citizen participation, future leadership, and community cultivation, with a focus on addressing and solving local issues together with citizens.

Applicants must be nonprofit private organizations registered with the city as of the announcement date (January 28). However, the city plans to guarantee a selection rate of at least 30% for new organizations to prevent repetitive projects every year. Additionally, organizations selected for the same project two years in a row cannot receive support for the same project content again.

This year's project period will be shortened to October for early execution, and the selected nonprofit private organizations will also be responsible for promotional activities on local issues that the community must address together, such as overcoming COVID-19, carbon neutrality, responding to population decline, and supporting vulnerable groups.

Nonprofit private organizations wishing to participate in the application can download the project application form from the city’s website, complete it, and submit it to the Autonomous and Decentralization Division at City Hall by the 26th of next month.

The final selection results will be announced on March 23 through the city’s website.

A city official stated, “Through this support project, we will help the growth of local nonprofit private organizations and contribute to the promotion of public interest activities and the development of a democratic society.”
