the ministry of civil affairs today (5th) announced the newly revised "administrative measures for public fundraising by charitable organizations", the revisions mainly involve the following four aspects:

the first is to optimize the application conditions for public fundraising qualifications.the newly revised charity law has changed the "charitable organizations that have been registered for two years in accordance with the law can apply for public fundraising qualifications from the civil affairs department where they are registered" to "charitable organizations that have been registered for one year in accordance with the law can apply for public fundraising qualifications from the civil affairs department that handles their registration", relaxing the time limit requirements, and the measures have made corresponding amendments to this. at the same time, the measures further optimize and improve the conditions for applying for public fundraising qualifications, focusing on examining the effectiveness of the internal governance mechanism of charitable organizations, the soundness of the internal management system, and the compliance of charitable organization operations.

the second is to refine the relevant regulations on public fundraising plans.the measures focus on prominent issues found in the management of public fundraising activities, respond to social concerns, and refine the specific content and relevant requirements of public fundraising plans item by item. for example, the expected amount of funds and materials raised has been increased, and the maximum duration of a single fundraising activity has been clarified; it is stipulated that each public fundraising activity should be filed separately, and it shall not be filed together, and it is not allowed to use the same fundraising filing number to carry out multiple public fundraising activities, etc., to promote charitable organizations to scientifically plan, reasonably design, and carry out public fundraising activities in accordance with the law, and to facilitate the supervision and management of public fundraising activities by charitable organizations by fundraising objects, the public, and relevant departments.

the third is to standardize cooperative public fundraising activities.in response to the problem that some charitable organizations with public fundraising qualifications have not fulfilled their supervisory responsibilities over their partners in cooperative fundraising, the measures further specify the management requirements of charitable organizations with public fundraising qualifications over their fundraising partners. for example, charitable organizations with public fundraising qualifications should supervise the collection and use of donations; they should specify the content of the fundraising cooperation agreement and strengthen supervision of the behavior of fundraising partners through evaluation, auditing and other means.

fourth, the annual expenditure and management fee standards after the public fundraising qualification certificate is revoked shall be clarified.the measures clearly state that if a charitable organization’s public fundraising qualification certificate is revoked in accordance with the law, its annual expenditures and management fees for charitable activities in that year shall still be implemented in accordance with the standards for charitable organizations with public fundraising qualifications, and then in accordance with the standards for charitable organizations without public fundraising qualifications, thus solving the problem of the connection between annual expenditures and management fees after a charitable organization loses its public fundraising qualifications.
