The China Charity Federation
The China Charity Federation (CCF) is a nationwide non-governmental charity organization. It was established in April 1994, with approval from the Chinese government, and legally registered as an independent entity. Its members, all of whom join on a voluntary basis, include private citizens, businesses, and social institutions, all of whom are interested in charitable work. The goals of CCF are to uphold the spirit of humanitarianism and the Chinese tradition of helping people in poverty or need, to help unfortunate individuals and groups of people, and to conduct various kinds of social relief work. There are 160 affiliates of CCF throughout China.

Since its founding, CCF has maintained its goal of increasing public consciousness and broadening charitable work in various fields. It has given wholehearted loyalty to China’s charitable concerns. CCF’s many humanitarian acts have drawn extensive social attention and have won the trust and full support of the government.

In recent years CCF has fully involved itself in humane activities that have brought it nationwide attention. Through extensive fundraising activities in the past few years, CCF raised nearly 1.8 billion Yuan both in cash and in kind by the end of 2004. More charitable relief programs have been carried out involving more areas than ever before. Initially we target indigent areas, and groups, and sustainable development programs, trying as far as possible to follow the donor’s desire. We never ignore any program due to size, no matter if it is large or small. Our programs include all fields: disaster and poverty relief work, helping with the reconstruction of equipment in schools and social welfare institutions in poor areas, providing surgery to poor children with cleft palates and hare lips, the Charity Rainwater Storage Project, the Charity Orphans Project, the Indigent Students Support Project, and the Medical Relief Sun Shine Residence Program in Xinjiang Ethnic Nationality Region. These programs have resulted in great social impact.

CCF has been working hard to seek opportunities to work together with other organizations. Up to now, CCF has established relations with about 60 charity organizations throughout 30 countries, having already cooperated on some programs. CCF became the only Chinese member of United Way International (UWI) in 1998. CCF has become a bridge to link foreign friends and overseas Chinese with the people of China.

China has a long history of performing charitable acts. It is known for its tradition of helping those in trouble and for the respect and care given to old and young alike. We cherish these characteristics as our best virtue and regard our culture as a kind of charity culture, which will last for many generations. CCF gives this culture a new vision by its faithfulness to charitable causes. We can make sure that charitable work in China will develop very well in the new century. The China charity tree will stay green forever.
