TOPIC: Serving Ideals and Interests: Corporate Philanthropy
in China
DATE: Friday, February 28
TIME: 12:00PM-1:15PM
LOCATION: Student Building Room 150
There is a growing gap between the extent of many of China's
emerging social problems and the government's ability to address them. That gap
can be partially bridged through philanthropy. The sector has grown
tremendously during the last decade, but it still is small as a percentage of
total social spending, and it reflects many of the pathologies of the broader
socio-political environment. This presentation provides an overview of China's
emerging philanthropic sector, with a special focus on corporate philanthropy.
This project is part of the "Initiative on Philanthropy in China,"
which is being led by the Research Center for Chinese Politics & Business
and the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy and funded by the Henry Luce and
Ford Foundations.
