Saemaul Geumgo Returns KRW 70 Billion to Community Through Social Contribution in 2024
Jun 25, 2025
Saemaul Geumgo Association announced that it has promoted a total of 70 billion won in community return through various social contribution activities to develop the community and improve the quality of life for residents in 2024.
In 2024, Saemaul Geumgo provided 17.6 billion won for cultural welfare welfare programs to support the caring class and social welfare facilities, 9.4 billion won for member education projects that focus on scholarship support and financial class operation, and 9.2 billion won for community development projects for regional disaster support and regional safety and health support. In addition, 3.5 billion won was provided through the Jomdori Movement, the representative social contribution project of Saemaul Geumgo, which originated from the Jomdori spirit of saving and saving rice one by one for neighbors in need. In addition, the government pushed for a return of 70 billion won to ensure that even benefits can be given to various sectors of the community and neighbors in need through 27.2 billion won in financial support, including 3.1 billion won in donations and policy funds.
In addition to this 'direct support' project, Saemaul Geumgo is also actively promoting community contribution projects in the form of 'investment management' that establish and operate facilities for local residents. In some cases, facilities for infants, children, adolescents, and the elderly in need of care are operated to provide social welfare services, and daily sports and cultural facilities are operated to support healthy cultural and leisure activities of residents. A Saemaul Geumgo in Samcheok, Gangwon-do, operated two movie theaters to help solve the difficulties of communities with poor access to cultural facilities, resulting in 120,000 people watching movies at the theaters annually.
In addition, a Saemaul Geumgo in Cheongdo-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, built and operated a baseball stadium for community members, and contributed to solving local difficulties through social contributions, such as providing opportunities for sports activities to 20,000 people annually.
Saemaul Geumgo has invested 180.8 billion won in cumulative amounts since its establishment until 2024, and facilities established and operated by Saemaul Geumgo investment have played an important role in developing the community's ecosystem in various aspects such as culture, education, and sports beyond simple welfare. More than 33,000 institutions benefited last year from the 180.8 billion won investment operation project invested by Saemaul Geumgo and the 70 billion won direct support project returned in 2024, and a total of 1.06 million people, including those belonging to the institution, benefited from the community contribution of Saemaul Geumgo in 2024.
