Kim Han-jong, the county governor who presided over the meeting, said, “The success of the Hometown Love Donation System depends on the fund projects,” and added, “I ask that you do your best to discover projects that can contribute to regional development and the welfare of residents.”

Based on the discussions at the report meeting, the county plans to conduct a resident preference survey and in-depth review of proposed projects. Later, the Hometown Love Fund Operation Deliberation Committee will be convened to finalize the fund projects for next year.

Meanwhile, the Hometown Love Donation System, which has been in effect since January 1 of this year, allows individuals to donate up to 5 million KRW annually to local governments other than their place of residence, receiving tax credit benefits and return gifts.

It is a win-win-win system that helps expand the poor local finances, supports people’s livelihoods, and revitalizes the local economy.
