Amazon said on Nov. 9 it has expanded its community support programme, launched in Incheon in 2025, to Ulsan and unveiled South Korea's second "Amazon Korea Community Fund."

The fund totals $150,000, or about 200 million won. It supports organisations such as schools, non-profits and libraries so they can pursue projects needed by their local communities.

If residents, schools and groups identify issues and propose solutions, Amazon will provide funding to help turn those ideas into reality in education, science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), digital capabilities, sustainability and community welfare, the company said.

A "digital innovation track" has been newly introduced to the fund this year. Through it, the fund will support projects that use digital technologies such as cloud computing and AI to address community issues.

The Amazon Korea Community Fund is run in cooperation with ChangeX, a community participation platform that delivers funds directly to local residents.

Se-jun Park (박세준), Korea region leader at Amazon Web Services (AWS), said, "Amazon seeks to be a good neighbour in every region where it builds and operates infrastructure, and the starting point is listening to residents' voices and investing resources in the priorities they present." He added, "I look forward to seeing students apply their ideas and digital capabilities to solving important challenges in the community."
