Gyeongbuk Development Corporation Holds Social Contribution Project Contest... 15 Million Won in Support

Gyeongbuk Development Corporation (President Lee Jaehyuk) will hold the "2025 GBDC Social Contribution Project Contest" for about four weeks, until August 8. This contest, now in its second year, aims to discover user-centered social contribution programs. It was established to enhance the effectiveness of social contribution and increase beneficiary satisfaction by identifying customized social contribution activities that reflect the needs of the local community and various stakeholders.

This contest targets public interest fields such as social welfare (social contribution linked to the corporation’s business, improvement of quality of life for vulnerable groups in the community through health, welfare, and volunteer activities), fostering future generations (education and emotional support for children and youth from vulnerable groups), social responsibility (addressing low birth rates, youth inflow, aging population, and regional extinction), employment (job training for employment-vulnerable groups and unemployment solutions), environmental protection (ecosystem conservation, energy saving, and climate change response), digital (social contribution using digital technology), and others (identifying welfare blind spots). The contest is open to social welfare institutions, facilities, organizations, and local governments. Up to three projects will be selected, with a total support fund of 15 million won. Submitted projects will undergo a preliminary review and an in-person evaluation, with final selections to be made in September.
