Changwon Special City, 'Hometown Love Donation System' ... Adding Rural Experience to Thank-You Gifts

On the 17th, Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam added 13 items, including rural experience programs, to the list of thank-you gifts after deliberation by the 'Hometown Love Donation Thank-You Gift Selection Committee.'

The newly added products include local specialties, items certified under the regional integrated brand, rural experience programs aimed at family visitors, and coffee & bread gift sets tailored to the preferences of the younger generation. In the future, local businesses will participate and apply with various configurations to present thank-you gifts that attract donors' interest.

Previously, Changwon Special City held the thank-you gift selection committee four times, selecting and registering 36 items from 29 companies, including sea squirts, and has been providing donors with thank-you gifts representing the taste and charm of Changwon Special City.

The city plans to publicly recruit suppliers for thank-you gifts by the end of July, combining the 13 newly selected items with the 44 previously selected items. Going forward, it will continue efforts to discover various thank-you gifts to promote hometown love donations and the development of the hometown.

The Hometown Love Donation System allows individuals to donate up to 5 million KRW annually to local governments other than their registered address. Donors receive a full tax credit up to 100,000 KRW, and a 16.5% tax credit on the excess amount. Up to 30% of the donation amount is provided as thank-you gifts from the recipient local government.
