Gwangju Dong-gu Leads Innovative Model for 'Hometown Love Donation'

Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City is gaining attention for leading an innovative model of hometown love donations.

Notably, they have fully disclosed the use of donation funds and set up donation boxes, allowing donors to clearly understand exactly where their contributions are being used.

This transparency increases donors' trust and the local government's sense of responsibility, becoming a driving force for voluntary participation in the Gwangju Dong-gu hometown love donation system from all over the country.

Another distinguishing feature is the creative ideas reflected in the thank-you gifts.

Among the thank-you gifts, donors can own artworks by local active artists, enjoying a unique donation experience that contributes to revitalizing the cultural and artistic ecosystem and supporting the artistic activities of local artists.

The goals of the donation system, which sponsors can empathize with, are also clearly presented.

For example, by designating donation boxes for the ‘Gwangju Theater 100-Year Project’ and the ‘E.T Baseball Team Support Project,’ it goes beyond temporary sponsorship methods.

Through the ‘Gwangju Theater 100-Year Project’ aimed at preserving Gwangju Theater, the oldest single-screen theater in Korea, and the ‘E.T Baseball Team Support Project,’ composed of youths with developmental disabilities, it is possible to invest in the community’s culture, arts, and future.

They are reaching the goal of growing together while confirming tangible changes occurring in the community.

On the 10th, Im Taek, Mayor of Dong-gu, said, “I hope more people experience the joy of giving that leads to community development and growth while spreading positive influence.”
