The Hometown Love Donation Program is a system that allows individuals to donate up to 5 million KRW annually to local governments other than their place of residence.
Donors receive a full tax credit up to 100,000 KRW, and a 16.5% tax credit on the amount exceeding 100,000 KRW. Additionally, they receive local agricultural and specialty products worth approximately 30% of the donation amount as thank-you gifts.
Daejeon City plans to use the collected donations for welfare, culture and arts, and regional revitalization projects.
Kim Young-jin, head of the Communication Policy Division of Daejeon City, said, “We will continuously discover thank-you gifts to promote a culture of donation,” and added, “We ask for the interest and participation of many local companies.”
