Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 28th that it has established a Hometown Love TF Team to successfully settle and revitalize the Hometown Love Donation System.
The Hometown Love TF Team (led by Kim Myung-shin, Deputy Governor of Jangseong), consisting of 30 public officials from 16 departments, is composed of the Donation Management Team, Return Gift Planning Team, and Practical Promotion Team.
The Donation Management Team is responsible for discovering fund projects such as support for vulnerable residents and youth development, while the Return Gift Planning Team is in charge of finding suppliers for return gifts.
The Practical Promotion Team handles overall tasks related to promoting the Hometown Love Donation System, including system publicity, fund management, and practical support for donation system operations.
At the first meeting held on the 17th, the progress so far was shared, and active discussions were held regarding the roles of each team and the direction of the TF team’s operation.
Kim Myung-shin, Deputy Governor of Jangseong, stated, “The success of the Hometown Love Donation System depends on discovering return gifts and fund projects,” and urged, “Please do your best to come up with ideas specialized for Jangseong-gun.”
The Hometown Love Donation System, which has been implemented nationwide since January, is a system where individuals can donate up to 5 million KRW annually to local governments other than their registered residence and receive tax deduction benefits along with return gifts. Jangseong-gun plans to complete the additional selection of return gifts and suppliers within this month. The provision of return gifts to donors will begin next month.
