Boseong-gun 'Hometown Love Donation Program' Donation Chain Continues

Generous Donation of 5 Million Won, the Maximum Amount for Donors 1 and 2

[Boseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Cheon-seok] Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that the Hometown Love Donation Program has taken a smooth first step as a series of donations from hometown natives living elsewhere continue.

Since the implementation date of the Hometown Love Donation Program on January 1, a total of about 20 people have participated in donations both online and offline.

In particular, the first and second donors were Mr. Im Hong-geun and Mr. Im Hong-nam, both of whom confirmed that they deposited the precious donation amount of 5 million KRW, the maximum annual donation amount.

Mr. Im Hong-geun and Mr. Im Hong-nam said, "We participated in this Hometown Love Donation Program with a heart that loves our hometown, and we ask that it be used for the development of Boseong-gun," adding, "We hope that donations from hometown natives living elsewhere will continue to be made so that they can be used in various areas such as nurturing local talent and improving housing conditions for vulnerable groups."

With about 20 people participating in donations of less than 100,000 KRW, the Hometown Love Donation Program has started smoothly.

An official from the county said, "We thank the donors living elsewhere who made large donations simultaneously with the implementation of the Hometown Love Donation Program, and we will use the donations carefully where they are needed to ensure that donors feel rewarded," adding, "We ask for continuous interest and cooperation from those whose hometown is Boseong or who love Boseong regarding the Hometown Love Donation Program, and we will strengthen public relations for the general public going forward."

The Hometown Love Donation Program is a system where individuals can donate to local governments other than their jurisdictional address and receive tax deduction benefits and return gifts (up to 30% based on the donation amount).

The donation limit is up to 5 million KRW per person annually, with a full tax deduction for donations up to 100,000 KRW and a 16.5% tax deduction for the amount exceeding 100,000 KRW.

Meanwhile, Boseong-gun has prepared 9 types and 71 items as return gifts for the Hometown Love Donation Program, including Boseong Love Gift Certificates, Boseong Mall mobile coupons, green tea, rice, fruit, and livestock products. Donors can apply for return gifts through the Hometown Love e-Eum website.
