The Beautiful Foundation in Korea is based on a Community Foundation Model. A Community Foundation is a form of non-profit public interest foundation that comes about and is driven by the will of residents to solve and manage problems in the local community. The Beautiful Foundation was impressed by this model's active problem solving abilities, self-regulation, and flexibility for projects. The necessity of a strong Community Foundation in Korea was apparent.
It has been six years since the establishment of the Beautiful Foundation. In this time, the Beautiful Foundation has quickly become a representative organization, making substantial contributions to the construction and popularization of a culture of philanthropy in Korea. The Beautiful Foundation's work has been quite multifaceted, including the building of a philanthropy culture of rational and regular donation that is not dependent solely on sympathy, the formation of a donor-centric fund culture, diverse and flexible grant making, and the establishment of a desirable partnership model between cooperation and non profit organizations.
