The program is the foundation’s flagship, locally focused social contribution effort, providing operating funds so social welfare facilities can run programs they plan themselves based on needs in the field.
Supported projects include special meals for Family Month and Parents’ Day, summer camps for low-income children, performances in culturally underserved areas, and outings for people with severe disabilities. The foundation said the support is intended to go beyond providing goods by offering new experiences and emotional lift.
The foundation said it ran the program last year, providing 390 million won to 78 social welfare facilities nationwide. This year, it provided 5 million won each to 80 organizations last month, enabling facilities to operate tailored programs reflecting participants’ needs and local conditions.
Chairman Kim In said the program is meaningful because it is built on needs identified by local welfare facilities. He said the foundation will continue practical support for neighbors in need through a range of community-based sharing activities.
