A natural breakdown is:

• 오늘 = today
• 지역사회에서 = from the local community / in the local community, depending on context
• 기부가 = donations (subject marker -가)
• 많이 = a lot / many / in large quantity
• 들어왔어요 = came in / were received

So the sentence structure is roughly:

Today + from the local community + donations + a lot + came in

Korean often puts time expressions like 오늘 near the beginning, and the verb comes at the end.

Korean commonly places time expressions early in the sentence. This helps set the scene right away.

So:

• 오늘 지역사회에서 기부가 많이 들어왔어요
  = Today, many donations came in from the local community

This is very normal Korean word order. English is a bit more flexible here, but Korean especially likes putting time information near the front.

지역사회 means local community or community.

The particle -에서 can mark:

• the place where an action happens
• the source something comes from

In this sentence, 지역사회에서 is most naturally understood as from the local community.

So it suggests that the donations came from people or groups in that community.

This is a common point for learners, because -에서 is not always just at/in. It can also feel like from, especially with verbs involving something coming or being sent.

Here, 기부가 uses the subject marker -가 because 기부 is the thing that is coming in.

The sentence is not treating 기부 as a direct object of an action like to give donations. Instead, it treats donations as the subject of the event:

• 기부가 들어오다 = donations come in / donations are received

If you used 기부를, that would suggest something is directly acting on the donation as an object, which is not what this sentence is doing.

So:

• 기부가 들어왔어요 = Donations came in
• not 기부를 들어왔어요

This is a very useful Korean expression.

들어오다 literally means to come in / enter. But Korean often uses it more broadly for things like:

• money coming in
• calls coming in
• applications coming in
• reports coming in
• donations coming in

So 기부가 들어오다 means something like:

• donations came in
• donations were received

It sounds natural in Korean, even though English learners may expect a verb closer to receive.

왔어요 just means came.

들어왔어요 means came in.

That extra sense of inward movement matters. With donations, 들어오다 suggests they arrived into an organization, office, fund, or system.

Compare:

• 기부가 왔어요 = The donation came
• 기부가 들어왔어요 = The donation came in / was received

For things like money, support, applications, or donations, 들어오다 is often the more natural choice.

많이 is an adverb, so it modifies the verb 들어왔어요.

It means:

• a lot
• in large quantity
• many

So 기부가 많이 들어왔어요 means donations came in a lot or more naturally many donations came in.

Why not 많은?

• 많은 is an adjective form that modifies a noun directly
• 많이 modifies a verb

Compare:

• 많은 기부가 들어왔어요 = Many donations came in
• 기부가 많이 들어왔어요 = Donations came in in large numbers / A lot of donations came in

Both are possible, but they are built differently.

들어왔어요 is the past tense polite form of 들어오다.

Breakdown:

• 들어오다 = to come in
• 들어왔어요 = came in

This is the standard polite style often used in conversation, announcements, reports, and everyday speech.

So the sentence is describing something that already happened:

• Donations came in today
• Many donations were received today

It is polite, but not the most formal possible style.

-어요 style is very common and appropriate in many everyday polite situations. But in very formal writing or official announcements, you might see:

• 들어왔습니다

So:

• 들어왔어요 = polite conversational
• 들어왔습니다 = more formal

Both are correct; the choice depends on tone and situation.

In Korean, nouns often do not have to show singular vs. plural as clearly as English does.

So 기부가 많이 들어왔어요 naturally means many donations came in, even though 기부 itself does not have a separate plural ending here.

Korean usually lets context or words like 많이 make the quantity clear.

If needed, Korean can make plurality more explicit, but very often it is unnecessary.

Yes. Korean could also express the idea with 받다 (to receive), for example:

• 오늘 지역사회에서 기부를 많이 받았어요.

That means We received many donations from the local community today.

The difference is mainly in perspective:

• 기부가 많이 들어왔어요 = donations came in
• 기부를 많이 받았어요 = we received many donations

Both are natural, but 들어오다 is especially common when talking about things arriving into an organization or system.

It focuses more on the donations coming in, not on the receiver.

Because the sentence uses:

• 기부가 as the subject
• 들어왔어요 as the verb

it highlights the event of donations arriving.

If the speaker wanted to emphasize who received them, Korean would more likely use a different structure, such as one with 받다.

So this sentence is less about we received and more about donations came in.
