Mastern Investment Management Continues 'Goods Donation Campaign' for Four Consecutive Years
Mastern Investment Management, an asset management company specializing in alternative investments, announced on November 26 that it will run its year-end social contribution program, "Sharing Goods Donation Campaign Season 4," for about three weeks until December 12.
The campaign, which first began in 2022, has been operated as a regular annual program. Now in its fourth consecutive year, it has become one of Mastern Investment Management's signature social contribution activities. Employees voluntarily donate items, which are then delivered to Goodwill Store, a social enterprise, to promote resource circulation and support employment and independence for people with developmental disabilities.
Goodwill Store is a vocational rehabilitation facility for people with disabilities operated by the Milal Welfare Foundation. It resells donated goods at reasonable prices and uses the proceeds to provide employment opportunities for people with developmental disabilities, functioning as a social enterprise.
Mastern Investment Management has placed donation collection boxes and envelopes on three floors of its headquarters on Gangnam-daero in Seocho-gu, Seoul. During the approximately three-week campaign period, employees can freely donate a wide range of items, including clothing, accessories, small home appliances, and household goods, in accordance with Goodwill Store's donation guidelines. Participants in the donation campaign are also eligible for year-end tax deduction benefits.
Last year, Mastern Investment Management donated a total of 422 items. These goods were resold through Goodwill Store and used to create jobs for people with developmental disabilities.
