“慈善榜”的中国式尴尬

我国的慈善事业正处在起步阶段,慈善事业不成熟,慈善捐赠不透明;很多富豪捐赠方式隐秘,不少企业家保持低调,不愿公开其在慈善领域的贡献;中国富豪乐于慈善的公益意识不强,缺乏“人人可慈善”的大气候等,是福布斯这样一个商业性质的杂志取消中国慈善榜的真正根源。     

新公益背景下地方高校社会工作专业人才培养模式研究

<正>当前,随着我国市场经济的快速发展和互联网技术的广泛运用,涌现出了社会企业、公益银行、慈善超市等多种公益新业态,同时还出现了像捐赠旧衣物循环产业链、再生废旧材料循环产业链等公益产业集群。这些公益产业的出现改变了传统的公益慈善事业表现形态,有效链接了工业、农业、服务业、金融业和知识产业,以市场机制有效激活了公益慈善事业,并创造了巨大的社会利益。然而,就在公益事业蓬勃发展的同时,公益慈善行业也面临着一个尴尬的发展处境。因此,从当前现状和未来趋势来看,     

我国首份慈善类专业报 《慈善公益报》将创刊

在我国慈善事业蓬勃发展之际,在中国共产党90周年华诞之时,我国首份慈善类专业报——《慈善公益报》正在北京积极筹备创刊。日前,经新闻出版总署新出审字423号文批准,由中国出版集团公司主管主办的《今日信息报》更名为《慈善公益报》,     

对我国慈善事业发展的思考

中国慈善事业近10年来有较快的发展,但仍然存在慈善组织数量少、规模小、募款能力弱、行政色彩浓、立法滞后、管理不善等问题。为解决上述问题,政府应调整在慈善事业中的角色,加强立法建设。慈善组织要完善自身建设,应加大社会宣传,形成良好的社会氛围,促进我国慈善事业的发展。     

我国慈善组织会计信息披露问题探析

慈善组织作为慈善事业的主要载体,对慈善事业的发展至关重要。而近几年我国频发的慈善造假事件,使得慈善组织面临严重的公信力危机。本文立足于这一现状,结合慈善组织会计信息需求及既存法律规定,分析我国慈善组织会计信息披露存在的问题。     

慈善资金的信托运营研究

近年来我国慈善活动发展迅速,但慈善资金总额一直难以满足救助需求。与此同时,慈善组织又存在短时间内暂未启用节余资金的现状。如何将此类节余的慈善资金加以有效利用,实现慈善资金的保值增值,这既成为慈善活动开展中值得重视的问题,也为慈善资金的信托运营提供了必要条件。而慈善资金信托运营的商事属性与慈善资金公益目的的"保本"需求,对慈善资金信托运营的"零"风险提出了特殊的要求,具有不同于一般公益信托和商事信托的特点。为保障我国慈善资金的有效运用,可考虑建立慈善资金信托运营制度,以良好的慈善资金信托运营风险控制手段,促进我国慈善事业的迅速发展。     

中国公益：转型与挑战

我们应借鉴同际经验，结合我国具体实际，以最大程度地激发社会的爱心与捐赠为重要标准确立公益慈善管理体制 自2005年国务院将促进慈善事业发展纳入政府工作内容以来，我国公益慈善事业已出现重大转型，突出表现在以下几个方面：     

论慈善私益捐赠

我国慈善私益捐赠包括私益募捐和个人直捐两种。但是,我国《公益事业捐赠法》尚未规定私益捐赠,导致私益捐赠参与人的权利、义务、责任,私益捐赠财产权的类型及其归属缺乏立法保障。建议尽快出台《慈善法》,采取"大慈善"立法体制,将私益捐赠、公益捐赠、赞助、资助和志愿者服务等利他行为统一纳入其调整范围。同时,要加强对慈善私益捐赠资金使用、慈善项目运作的监管,保障慈善参与人权利,确立慈善参与人的信义义务和责任体系。     

Charitable bequest importance among donors to different types of charities

This paper explores differences in the self‐rated importance of charitable estate giving depending upon the type of charitable cause a person donates to during life. One theoretical motivation for lifetime giving is to personally enjoy benefits from improving a shared collective good. However, this motivation is not possible for bequests. Bequest transfers and resulting improvements occur after personal enjoyment of benefits is no longer possible. This paper hypothesizes that among donors to high personal benefit causes (those typically creating shared goods benefitting donors), interest in a charitable bequest (which offers no opportunity for receiving such benefits) will be relatively less than among donors to low personal benefit causes. In order to explore this, each charity type is categorized as providing high, low, or mixed personal benefits from shared collective goods. This hypothesis receives mixed support. Donors to international relief organizations, a low personal benefit charity type, do place a higher importance on charitable bequests than do donors to shared‐goods type causes such as neighborhood associations, service clubs, sports leagues, or “other” charities, including those focused on local public safety and crime. However, donors to arts organizations—a classic example of donors creating a shared good—have a relatively high interest in charitable bequests. One important exception to the exclusion of postmortem personal benefits could come from religious belief. Accordingly, donors to religious causes do place a higher importance on charitable bequests.     

Charitable behavior in China under the Charity Law: Evaluation of charity advertisements involving in-groups and out-groups

This paper examines Chinese charitable behavior in 2016—the year the Charity Law was enforced—with a focus on the evaluation of charity advertisements. The 2016 Charity Law is the first law in China to regulate charitable organizations and their activities. It also provides various tax incentives for charitable organizations and donors. A study was conducted to understand Chinese charitable behavior in terms of in-groups and out-groups. Results indicate that the Chinese more positively evaluate charity advertisements targeting in-groups than those targeting out-groups. This relationship between advertisement type and advertisement attitude is mediated by ethnocentrism. Furthermore, we found that familiarity with the Charity Law moderates the effect of ethnocentrism on advertisement attitude.     

A solicitor's perspective on charitable gifts in wills

• In the climate of public spending cuts, charities are increasingly expected to fill the gap. Yet charities themselves face huge challenges. Not just increasing demand for their services but falling income and low investment returns. Encouraging philanthropy has never been more important, and that includes legacy giving. Following the announcement last year of the Government's major inheritance tax incentive to encourage us to give more to charity on our death, the time is right for a major report on current trends in charitable legacy giving. Late last year, Mishcon de Reya undertook the most detailed analysis ever by a firm of solicitors of its clients' wills. In a study of over 1000 wills, we did not just look at how many people leave a legacy to charity. We considered the value of the legacy, the type of legacy, the likelihood of the charity ever receiving it, whether clients prefer to give to multiple charities, and the most popular charitable sectors. This article will give a quick overview of our research followed by a more detailed look at the three types of legacy to charity: cash—‘for example, I leave £10,000 to charity’,—specific items—‘for example, I leave a painting to charity’—and residuary gifts—‘for example, I give half my estate to charity’. The article will then briefly touch on the charity sectors most favoured by our clients before giving a brief summary of Mishcon de Reya's key findings in conclusion.

The development of purpose and strategy within British charitable organisations: historical impressions

This paper is based on research work undertaken as part of a PhD thesis. It considers the development of purpose and strategy within British charitable organisations. First, the historical path of charity in Britain is traced. Secondly, an assessment of the more fundamental forces that constitute the nature of charitable initiative are explored, much of which is applicable beyond ‘our island home’.[Churchill, W. (1957) ‘A History of the English Speaking Peoples’, Cassell and Company, London.] The historical relationship of charity to business is then examined, particularly in terms of the influence that business ‘culture’ is gaining in shaping charitable endeavour today. Finally, an initiative to link business and charity is presented and conclusions are noted. Copyright © 1999 Henry Stewart Publications     

Blurred vision: public trust in charities

Recent evidence that people's trust in charities is low holds serious implications for a sector that needs high levels of public confidence and support to thrive. This paper reports on qualitative focus group research initiated by the Third Sector Foresight Consortium on Trust, set up by the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) and the Henley Centre. Strong negative views about fundraising and marketing strategies, ‘fat cat’ salaries and fraud are only partially offset by favourable opinions of the aims and role of charities in society. There appears to be a ‘blurring’ of the voluntary sector's identity and boundaries in the public mind, with overlaps with the state and business sector threatening to obscure the distinctive character of charity and widespread suspicion of the abuse of charitable status. A consequent demand for greater openness and accountability focuses on information about charity finances and performance measurement. Suggestions for further research and strategies for the charity sector to respond to the findings conclude the paper. Copyright © 1999 Henry Stewart Publications

Medium-sized charities and their advertising agencies: An exploratory investigation

Respondents in 103 medium-sized charities completed a mail questionnaire designed to explore the nature of the relationships between these charities and their advertising agencies. It emerged that some, but not all, of the factors known to influence interactions between agencies and their commercial clients were equally relevant within the charity sector. Variables crucial to charity clients' levels of satisfaction with their advertising agencies included agency provision of functional assistance with media planning and the creative design of advertisements, trust and an agency's willingness to act as a member of its client's team, and the ability to generate new ideas. Additionally, an agency's experience of work within the charity sector and its empathy with charitable aims, ideals and philosophies were key determinants of satisfaction ratings. Assistance with market research and public relations and an agency's ability to offer extensive ancillary services did not appear to exert significant influence.     

我国企业慈善捐赠的障碍及政策选择

我国慈善事业的发展还处在初级阶段,企业慈善捐赠的积极性不是很高,企业慈善捐赠的水平仍然很低。企业慈善捐赠面临诸多障碍:索捐、迫捐、诈捐现象时有发生;政府在慈善捐赠中的角色定位不清;企业在享受税收优惠等激励方面限制太多;民间慈善组织的发展受到束缚。因此,转变慈善捐赠观念,完善有关慈善捐赠的法律法规,是我国慈善事业发展的当务之急。
