Charity donations drop
Print Edition
Charity donations decreased 3.3 percent last year compared to 2011, according to a China Charity and Donation Information Center report released yesterday.
Donations from both home and abroad totaled 81.7 billion yuan (US$13.35 billion), making it the second straight yearly decline, the report showed.
The report said 84.5 billion yuan was donated in 2011, down 18.1 percent from the previous year.
Ministry of Civil Affairs official Xu Jianzhong attributed the dip to the floundering global economy, less natural disasters and the lingering “public trust crisis” toward the country’s charity sector.
Companies were still the biggest contributors, with their donations totaling 47.44 billion yuan, the report showed.
The center also found a surge in donations made online and the number of people donating via the Internet. The center has issued annual charity reports since 2008.
