International Philanthropy Symposium:
Giving Korea
Since its establishment in 2000, The Beautiful Foundation has conducted
Giving Korea Giving Korea is an international philanthropy symposium
that brings together experts and policy makers to discuss research
findings and pertinent issues. The research done for Giving Korea
focuses on two areas of philanthropic contribution: individuals
and Korean corporations. Research is conducted and released annually,
with concurrent in-depth lectures and debates. The Beautiful Foundation
uses data and input from experts in the field in order to construct
strategies to spread philanthropy in Korea and build a stronger
network of domestic and international civil organizations, foundations,
and contacts in the corporate social responsibility field.
Philanthropically developed countries have long been conducting
surveys on donations and accumulating reliable data. Recognizing
the necessity of compiling objective and reliable data on perceptions,
attitudes, and behavior regarding philanthropy, and in order to
keep abreast with global trends, the Beautiful Foundation has established
Giving Korea.
The research done by Giving Korea is largely focused upon two areas
of philanthropic contribution - that of individuals and that of
Korean corporations. The study regarding philanthropy by individuals
is based on yearly research of Korean giving and volunteering. The
study of corporations is based upon data gathered to measure the
contributions of Korean enterprises to public services. Those studies
are reported on a biannual basis.
