The Ministry of Health and Welfare has reopened applications for organizations interested in operating the “Donor Recognition” Private Current Grant Project for 2026. This initiative aims to select project operators responsible for managing and implementing programs dedicated to appreciating and honoring blood donors throughout the year 2026.
The “Donor Recognition” project is a key part of South Korea’s broader efforts to foster a culture of gratitude towards those who selflessly donate blood, thereby ensuring a stable and safe national blood supply. This particular grant is designed for private institutions and organizations (known as Min-gan Gyeong-sang Bojo Sa-eop-ja in Korean, meaning private current grant project operators) that can effectively develop and execute initiatives focused on acknowledging these vital contributions.
Relevant institutions and organizations are encouraged to apply. The application window is open from April 17, 2026, to April 30, 2026. Prospective applicants must refer to the detailed re-announcement documents, which are attached to the original notice (available in .hwpx and .pdf formats), for comprehensive information regarding eligibility criteria, project scope, application procedures, and required submissions.
This re-announcement, officially designated as Ministry of Health and Welfare Notice No. 2026-334, provides a renewed opportunity for qualified entities to partner with the government in this significant public health endeavor. For any inquiries or clarification, applicants may contact the Blood and Organ Policy Division directly at 044-202-2634 during the specified application period.
