What is "Everyone's Funding"?

Funding Benefits for Everyone

1. If you want support for your personal challenges and activities, try Sponsor & Fandom Funding

Even individuals who are not business owners can use Sponsorship and Fandom Funding to promote their challenges, goals, and activities and receive support from supporters. You can run projects on a variety of themes—such as film production, performances, classes, Communities, social contribution projects, and travel projects—that allow people to participate in or cheer on together.

Sponsorship and Fandom projects are categorized into Sponsorship, Campaign, Community/Group, and Artist types.

※ The benefit of a 90% service fee subsidy applies when an individual maker (not a business) launches a sponsorship or fan-funded project.

(1) How are Rewards structured?

Sponsorship and Fandom Funding allows you to run a project even without a product or service.

However, projects cannot be run as pure donations with no rewards provided; you must design rewards to offer to supporters who participate in the funding.

You can create a variety of rewards that leverage the project’s unique characteristics, as follows.

• Thank-You Messages or Project Results Reports
• Exclusive Preview Content
• Production Process or Behind-the-Scenes Stories
• Limited-Edition Package
• Participant’s Name Listed in the Credits
• Content exclusive to project participants

You can also offer off-the-shelf products or products and services currently sold through other channels as Rewards. In this case, you must clearly state this information in the project story.

2. If you’re launching a project based in a specific region, consider Local Funding

Makers launching new projects based in a specific region can receive fee support benefits through Local Funding. Local Funding is open not only to individuals but also to sole proprietors and corporations. 

(1) Eligibility 

Support benefits apply to makers and projects that meet both conditions 1 and 2below.

• Location Requirements: Makers who reside or have a business location in regions other than Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon, Daejeon, Daegu, Busan, and Ulsan. The criteria for determining eligibility based on maker type are as follows:
   
  • Individual Makers: The residence listed on your ID card
  • Business Makers: Business location as stated on the business registration certificate
     
• Category and Project Requirements: Projects that fall under the categories below and meet one or more of the requirements listed in ① or ② are eligible.
   
  • Food: Farm-to-table, local restaurants, traditional liquor

  • Travel: Domestic travel, activities

    ① Projects that introduce Rewards made from raw materials produced or harvested in the relevant region
    ② Projects that contribute to solving local issues or fostering regional mutual growth

In other words, the support benefits do not apply if only the regional requirement or only the project requirement is met.

(2) How Are the Fee Benefits Applied?

There is no need to apply separately for the fee benefit.

If you meet the eligibility criteria, the benefits will be automatically applied based on the information you entered in Maker Studio.

To ensure the benefits are applied correctly, please enter the following information exactly as it appears in reality when creating your project.

• Country
• Region
• Business Type
• Project Category

If you enter false information or select a category that differs from the actual project, your project may be subject to a modification request or rejection, and you may be excluded from the fee support program.

In particular, for local funding, if the address listed on the business registration certificate (for businesses) or ID card (for individuals) does not match the business location or residence entered in Maker Studio, the benefit may not apply.
