Gwangju City announced on the 3rd that it has selected a total of 152 organizations as recipients of this year's public interest activity support project and will provide 1.2 billion KRW in funding.

The city held an open call for the nonprofit private organization public interest activity support project from January 6 to February 7, during which 177 private organizations applied. After reviews by relevant departments and deliberation by the Public Interest Project Selection Committee, 152 organizations were finally selected.

The Public Interest Project Selection Committee finalized the supported organizations through a comprehensive evaluation of last year's funding and performance, organizational capacity, project content, and expected outcomes. The selected organizations can view their individual funding amounts on the Gwangju City website (City News → Notices, Legislative Announcements), and subsidy applications can be submitted to the responsible department where the organization is registered starting from the 9th.

The city plans to ensure the public nature of the public interest projects by monitoring the progress throughout the year for efficient project implementation and transparent subsidy management of the selected organizations.

Son Myeonghee, Director of Citizen Communication, said, "We hope that supporting public interest projects of nonprofit private organizations will further vitalize their activities and enhance their capabilities," and added, "We will maintain communication so that the organizations selected this year can carry out their projects without any setbacks."
