Saemaul Geumgo Foundation Launches Warmth Sharing Event Support Program, Provides 400 Million Won to 80 Organizations

Recipient Organizations Design Customized Programs by Region and Target Group

Kim In: "We Will Continue Providing Practical Support to Our Neighbors"

On April 29, MG Saemaul Geumgo Regional Hope Sharing Foundation announced that it has launched the “MG Warmth Sharing Event Support Program” to promote the spread of community culture in the region and foster coexistence and solidarity with the local community.

The Warmth Sharing Event Support Program, the foundation’s flagship local community-based social contribution initiative, provides funding for social welfare facilities to operate programs they have planned themselves.

As a result, recipient organizations are able to autonomously design programs tailored to the characteristics of their respective regions and target groups.

Representative examples of supported projects include providing special meals for Family Month and Parent’s Day, supporting summer camps for children from low-income families, sponsoring performances in culturally underserved regions, and organizing outings for people with severe disabilities. The foundation explained that the program goes beyond simply supplying goods, offering participants new experiences and emotional support.

Last year, the foundation provided 390 million won to 78 social welfare facilities nationwide through the Warmth Sharing Event Support Program. This year, the foundation expanded its support and last month provided 5 million won each to 80 organizations, for a total of 400 million won in program funding.

Kim In, Chairman of the Saemaul Geumgo Foundation, stated, “The Warmth Sharing Event is particularly meaningful because it is based on the needs identified by local welfare facilities themselves. We will continue to provide practical support for neighbors in need through a variety of sharing activities in partnership with the local community.”
