Fundraising and Campaigns
2011 Domestic Projects
The Work Together Foundation was established with civil funds collected
during the financial crisis of the late ‘90s. In continuation of the efforts
made to tackle the issues of mass unemployment triggered by the
financial crisis, we were giving a boost to our engagement through the
collection of civil donations starting in 2009. The funds raised are used to
create jobs and support the unemployed, low-income households with
children, and youth in economic and social need.
The Work Together Foundation’s accumulated experience and know-
how in implementing projects and managing the fund, networking
with useful and practical resources and utilizing professional human
resources maximize the value of donations collected from our individual
contributors.
The Mania Giving CircleIn 2009, the Mania Giving Circle,
formed by fans of Seo Tai-Ji, signed an agreement with the Work Together Founda-tion to carry out a project to support youths from low-income households.
Since 2010, it has been sup-porting the Yoojasalon, a social enterprise which links young people who always stay at home with the world through the music.
The Mania Giving Circle is a new fundraising method, by which donors are able to choose the projects and the people who benefit from them. It takes innovative approaches to its nonprofit activities by in-corporating and utilizing not only monetary resources but also the knowledge, skills and experience of its participants, allowing more effective and efficient practices.
KB Dreaming of the Youth ProjectThe foundation has carried out
this project with the sponsorship of the KB Kookmin Bank since 2010, hosting a career camp to help youths discover various types of future jobs and provide them with vaca-tional training in various fields.

In 2011, “Research on Developing an Al-ternative Social Safety Net Model for Young People,” “Research on the Trends of the Ko-rean Cooperative Federation Sector and its Possibility of Being Linked with a Social Enterprise” and “A Study on the Methods to Find the Real Condition of Social Enterprises and the Formation of Lists of Research” were published.

related to social enterprises and employ-ment, linking the outcomes to projects which are being implemented. In addition, policy discussion forums were held to publish the outcomes of the research and to discuss the social issues faced by society. In 2011, the Policy Discussion Forum was held in com-memoration of the 8th anniversary of the WT’s founding. An international symposium with the theme of “the change of social se-curity law and welfare policy in 3 East-asian countries” was held, co-organized by the Korea Researching & Consulting Institute on Poverty, the Law Center of Kookmin Univer-sity and The Korean Association of Social Security Law.

Korean social entrepreneurship, especially in Asia. To attain a continuous
network of social entrepreneurs and related professionals, we laid out
a foundation of collaboration programs and conferences with other
intermediaries supporting social enterprise. Moreover, we tried to provide
a business field—specific database which details problems social
entrepreneurs face, along with the attempted solutions.

Through the project, it has been working to alleviate poverty faced by
children in various developing countries. In addition, STP attempts to
support the creation of employment opportunities that respect the local
culture while maintaining its sustainability. Through social enterprises,
STP strives to provide employment for parents so that their children can
