The Hometown Love Donation System is a system where individuals who donate to local governments other than their address receive return gifts within 30% of the donation amount, and the donation is used to improve residents' welfare.

Donations can be made through the Hometown Love e-um online system and at Nonghyup branches nationwide.

Gyeongnam Province plans to use the donations collected through the Hometown Love Donation System by gathering opinions from local residents to focus on discovering related projects such as welfare, culture and arts, revitalization of local communities, and improvement of residents' welfare, as well as commercializing regional tasks.

Governor Park said, “The Hometown Love Donation System will not only contribute to the development of the hometown but also serve as a catalyst for expanding the poor local finances,” adding, “I hope this donation event will be a starting point that helps local finances, revitalizes the local economy, and breathes new life into the region.”
