Organizations wishing to participate in the project can submit their applications online through the Local Subsidy System (Botaem e, www.losims.go.kr).

The Gyeonggi Province Public Interest Project Selection Committee will evaluate and review applications based on criteria including organizational capacity (20 points), project content (70 points), and budget feasibility (10 points), and will select the final organizations by the end of March. High-ranking excellent organizations from the previous year’s project evaluation may receive additional points. To ensure fair support opportunities for new organizations, those selected for Gyeonggi public interest projects for 3 to 4 consecutive years in recent years will receive a 3-point deduction.

Additionally, organizations that have received support for 5 consecutive years will be mandatorily excluded from eligibility for one year. However, they will be eligible to apply the following year.

A Gyeonggi Province official stated, "We will provide opportunities for citizens to participate in various fields and foster an environment for strengthening the capabilities and cooperation of nonprofit private organizations."
