2005 marked the 20th anniversary of the Western Region and the scholarship award and fundraising banquet was held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on April 20. Han Kook Heritage Foundation which procured and developed the collection of Korean art to be exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art co-hosted the event. Keith Wilson, Chief Curator of Asian Art at LACMA, gave congratulatory remarks and 70 college students and 5 high school students were awarded scholarships. This year, many past scholarship recipients stepped forward to become donors, thereby creating a new vision for the foundation’s future called the “Recipient to Donor” (R2D) program. This was a particularly exciting addition to the scholarship program which had primarily relied on community’s support.

A pilot online donation program for KASF.org was started in June. It allows anyone to give money over the web to KASF. As a non profit organization, KASF can accept any amount of donation online using Paypal technology which provides donors with a safer, more secure way to donate without sharing their financial information.

To network past recipients who amount close to 4,500 nationwide, Western Region also completed a pilot program that allows users to communicate as a group and/or directly with individuals using a professional networking website called linkedIn. Over 30 past recipients (between 2000~2008) were reconnected and are in active dialogue. The alumni learn about activities in our region.
