Smilegate Hope Studio announced on the 14th that it is recruiting public activity organizations to participate in the 'Hope Maker-thon' until April 24.
The Hope Maker-thon is an event where Hope Studio collaborates with non-profit organizations and social ventures to research solutions to social problems and seek execution strategies. Participating organizations will devise plans that can positively impact society by connecting with donors based on expertise and execution capabilities. This year's Hope Maker-thon will be held on the 29th of next month at the Smilegate headquarters.
The recruitment of participating organizations will be conducted through the Hope Studio website until the 24th of this month, and an online business briefing named '2025 Hope Maker Trailer' will be held on the 30th. The briefing will provide an introduction to the Hope Maker-thon and a guide on utilizing the donation platform.
Organizations participating in the Hope Maker-thon will conduct donation campaigns through the Hope Studio donation platform for four months from June to September, and the funds raised will be used as project costs for execution plans. An event sharing the results will be held in December, and teams that achieve outstanding results will receive support for project research and development.
Park Jae-hee, Head of Team at Hope Studio, said, 'The Hope Maker-thon aims to create an impact network where public activity organizations actively engage with donors to solve social problems. We hope for the interest and participation of many public activity organizations that wish to solve social problems in a sustainable way.'
