Gyeonggi Province will provide subsidies of up to 10 million KRW to support leisure activities and education to improve the quality of life for the elderly.
On the 17th, Gyeonggi Province announced that it will publicly recruit 14 institutions and organizations to participate in the ‘2025 Gyeonggi Province Social Welfare Fund Public Project (Elderly Welfare)’ until March 4.
This project, utilizing the Gyeonggi Province Social Welfare Fund, is aimed at elderly welfare and is annually open for applications and support from non-profit corporations or elderly-related non-profit institutions and organizations headquartered in Gyeonggi Province.
This year’s recruitment fields include ▲support projects for elderly educational activities ▲projects related to social participation of senior citizens such as senior mentors ▲and other creative projects to promote elderly welfare in general.
Selected institutions and organizations will receive subsidies of up to 10 million KRW per project, excluding self-funded amounts.
Last year, 21 institutions and organizations in the province conducted various programs such as ‘Nutrition Education for Low-income Elderly Living Alone,’ ‘Senior Smartphone and Kiosk Education,’ ‘Puppet Show Volunteer Group Operation,’ and ‘Senior Citizen Samulnori Program.’
Institutions wishing to participate can apply by submitting application documents including a project plan, organization introduction, official application letter, and previous project performance through the Local Subsidy Management System (Botaem e).
Gyeonggi Province will review feasibility, budget appropriateness, and project execution capability through a project selection committee and finalize the selected institutions, number of projects, and support amounts by April.
Lee Eun-sook, Director of the Elderly Welfare Division of Gyeonggi Province, said, "Through the Gyeonggi Province Social Welfare Fund public project, we aim to discover projects needed in the community and contribute to the welfare improvement of the elderly," and added, "We ask for active participation from private institutions and organizations in the province."
