The support is available to households residing in Gwanak District with infants and young children aged between 2 and 4 who are registered as residents and actually living in the district. The guardian must also have been registered and residing in Gwanak District for at least six months prior to the child's birthday.

The support fund consists of one payment of KRW 300,000 in Gwanak Love Gift Certificates for each age group at 2, 3, and 4 years old. These gift certificates can be used at participating Seoul Love Gift Certificate merchants within Gwanak District, including restaurants, supermarkets, hospitals, pharmacies, and cultural facilities.

Applications may be submitted via the Government24 website (plus.gov.kr) or by visiting the local administrative center where the child resides. The application period is within six months from the child's birthday, and separate applications must be submitted for each age milestone at 2, 3, and 4 years old. Alongside this initiative, the district is also operating a range of programs such as the Newborn Gift Package Support Project, the Excellence Dad Parenting Group, and the Forest Kindergarten Summer Vacation Program.

Mayor Park Junhee stated, "I hope the 'Jumping Growth and Nurturing Support Fund' will offer practical help to child-rearing households and serve as a strong foundation for children to grow up healthy. We will continue to support measures that address the low birth rate crisis and strive to create a happy Gwanak District for children going forward."
