Goal to Discover Fund Projects That Resonate with Local Residents and Donors

On the 16th, Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it will extend the deadline for the Hometown Love Fund Project Idea Contest until the 31st.

The idea contest, which began on April 17, is being held to discover creative projects to be promoted using donations raised through the Hometown Love Donation System.

The contest is open to all citizens, and the fields for submission include support for socially vulnerable groups, youth development and protection, promotion of culture, arts, and health for local residents, support for revitalizing local communities, and other projects necessary for improving residents' welfare.

The results are scheduled to be announced in August, with awards presented at the end of the year. The grand prize (1 person) will receive 500,000 KRW, excellence awards (3 persons) will receive 300,000 KRW each, and encouragement awards (20 persons) will receive 50,000 KRW each in Damyang Love gift certificates.

County Governor Lee Byeong-no said, “We ask for your great interest and participation so that meaningful and original projects that donors to Damyang can feel proud of will be discovered.”

Meanwhile, the Hometown Love Donation System allows individuals to donate up to 5 million KRW annually to local governments (metropolitan or basic) other than their place of residence. Donations up to 100,000 KRW are fully tax-deductible, and amounts exceeding that receive a 16.5% tax credit, with thank-you gifts provided within 30% of the donation amount.

Currently, Damyang-gun is receiving great responses by offering a variety of 32 attractive thank-you gifts.
