Generating interest among prospective donors... Launching a gratitude event

Mokpo City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Park Hong-ryul) is promoting a gratitude event to celebrate surpassing 1,000 cases of the ‘Hometown Love Donation System,’ which was implemented for the first time this year.

According to the city on the 15th, the hometown love donations for Mokpo began on January 1, the first day of implementation, starting with expatriates, and the support from all over the country for Mokpo combined to exceed 1,000 cases last month.

The event being held this time aims for the early achievement of 2,000 hometown love donations. Starting from the 1,100th donor, a total of 10 people will be selected every 100 donors up to the 2,000th donor, and if they certify their donation on their personal SNS, they will receive a prize worth 30,000 KRW.

Those who donate hometown love to Mokpo City will be automatically entered into the event, and 10 people will be selected (notified individually) in the order of donation confirmed on the Hometown Love e-um site. However, if the selected donor donated less than 100,000 KRW, that order will be excluded from winning.

If a donor donates 100,000 KRW to Mokpo City through the hometown love donation and wins the event, they will receive a total benefit of 160,000 KRW, including a full tax deduction, a thank-you gift worth 30,000 KRW, and an additional prize.

A city official said, “The hearts supporting Mokpo from all over the country have gathered to achieve 1,000 hometown love donations,” and added, “We ask for continued interest and support so that Mokpo can establish a foundation for a vigorous leap forward.”

Meanwhile, the Hometown Love Donation System is a system introduced to expand local finances and revitalize the regional economy through voluntary donations by individuals. Donors can donate up to 5 million KRW annually to local governments other than their registered address, and donors can receive a tax deduction on the donation and a thank-you gift worth about 30% of the donation amount.
