Council on Foundations (COF) recently hosted a webinar on Philanthropy Law in China, featuring Dr. Shawn Shieh and The China NGO Project editor Jessica Batke. From COF:
Shawn presented the current landscape for philanthropy in China, with a special focus on changes resulting from the 2016 Charity Law and Overseas NGO law. He also discussed the rise of philanthropy in China, delved into the new legal scheme presented by 2016 laws, and explored best practices for practitioners engaged or seeking to engage in Chinese giving.
Jessica shared high-level trends and the latest data on how foreign nonprofits are operating today under the 2016 Charity Law and Overseas NGO law. She also answered questions and share suggested approaches for engagement in China, given her experience tracking the impact of Chinese laws and regulations on foreign non-profits, including grantmaking foundations.
