The State and the State of the Art on Philanthropy in China | 中國慈善事業的現狀與發展

Angela Bies, Scott Kennedy

Abstract: There exists a current paradox of philanthropy and the state in China: a stronger social sector accompanied with growth in philanthropy is desired, but such strength and growth must also contend with the state’s own policy agenda and desire to limit aspects of advocacy and civil society typically associated with the third sector. This special volume seeks to explore these state-society dynamics, in terms of the environment for philanthropy and the behaviors of philanthropic actors within this environment. The purpose of our article is multifold. The first is to provide the intellectual and empirical contexts in which our collective research is situated. We do so by providing analyzing the state of the existing research and the broad contours of philanthropic activity in China. The second is to situate our initiative within the development of China’s own complex philanthropic studies and philanthropic community. The third is to introduce the scholarship that composes this special volume and its collective contribution. We then provide original data and analysis about corporate philanthropic activity and foundations in China that complements the work of our collaborators. Finally, we consider the implications of the special volume for our broader understanding of philanthropy and suggest potential avenues of a future research agenda.

摘要：中國目前存在一個慈善與國家之間的悖論：期待慈善事業發展能帶來一個更強大的社會部門，但其實力和

增長又必須與國家自身政策議程和國家想要限制跟第三部門有關的倡導及公民社會的現狀相對抗。這期特刊探討

與此相關的國家與社會互動，特別是慈善發展的外部環境和在該環境中慈善行動者的行為。本文的目的是多方面

的。第一，為本期特刊研究提供知識和實證背景。為此，我們分析了現有的研究以及中國慈善活動的大體輪廓。

第二，將我們的研究提議置於中國復雜的慈善研究和慈善社區發展之中。第三，介紹構成這期特刊的研究及其貢

獻。然後，我們提供了有關中國企業慈善活動和基金會的原始數據作為我們合作者研究的補充。最後，我們也考

慮了這期特刊對於我們能更為廣泛地理解慈善的意義並提出了未來可能的研究議程。

Managing the Foreign: The Drive to Securitize Foreign Nonprofit and Foundation Management in

China | 管理外來者：中國監管境外非營利組織和基金會管理的動力

Mark Sidel

Abstract: In recent years, China has sought to tighten regulation of foreign nonprofit organizations and foundations operating or funding in China, including through a new Law on the Management of the Domestic Activities of Foreign Non-governmental Organizations in China, enacted in April 2016. This article analyzes the history of China’s regulation of foreign nonprofits and foundations, the effect of external and domestic events on China’s shifting policy climate, the emergence of security-based intellectuals and their role in policy on foreign nonprofits and foundations in China, the new policy framework and the new Overseas NGO Law enacted in 2016, and initial implementation of this new framework in China. These developments provide background to other aspects of nonprofit and philanthropic performance in China that are discussed in this special issue.

摘要：近年來，中國試圖在加強監管境外非營利組織和基金會在中國的運營和資助，包括在 2016 年 4 月頒布了

新的《境外非政府組織境內活動管理法》。本文分析了中國對境外非營利組織和基金會的監管歷史，海內外事件

對中國不斷變化的政策環境的影響，安全系統的知識分子的出現及其在中國對境外非營利組織和基金會的政策的

作用，新的政策框架和 2016 年頒布的新境外非政府組織法及其在中國初步實施。這些發展動態為本期特刊關於

非營利組織和慈善事業其他方面的研究提供了背景信息。

What Makes Association Members Donate More? Factors Influencing Members’ Donation Amount in

Membership-Based Professional Associations | 是什麽讓協會會員捐得更多？在會員制行業協會中影響會員

捐款金額的因素

Jeyoung Oh, Eyun-Jung Ki

Abstract: As charitable donations account for a significant amount of the revenue of professional associations, such associations can benefit greatly from a better understanding of the factors that influence the amount of money that members donate. Using data collected from six professional associations, this study examines the factors affecting association members’ donation amounts. A survey of 2156 members was conducted to investigate the potential factors. The results of hierarchical regression analysis showed that after controlling for sociodemographic factors, face-to-face solicitation, intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, membership length, and recommendation intention significantly influence the donation amount among members. This study offers more comprehensive explanations for the factors that influence members’ donation amounts and provides potential strategies to maximize donations from members.

摘要：由於慈善捐贈在行業協會收入中占很大比重，因此，這些協會可以通過更好的了解影響會員捐贈金額的因

素而受益。通過從六個行業協會收集數據，本文研究了影響協會會員捐贈額的因素。對 2156 名會員進行調查以

研究潛在的因素。分層回歸分析的結果表明，在控制了社會人口因素後，面對面的募捐，內在和外在的動機，成

為會員的時間長短和推薦意願都顯著地影響了會員捐贈額。這項研究更全面地解釋了影響會員捐贈額的因素並提

供了可能的策略使會員捐贈最大化。

Legitimacy, Worthiness, and Social Network: An Empirical Study of the key Factors Influencing

Crowdfunding Outcomes for Nonprofit Projects | 合法性，價值和社會網絡：對影響非營利項目眾籌結果關

鍵因素的實證研究

Huiquan Zhou, Shihua Ye

Abstract: Crowdfunding opened up new opportunities for nonprofits to mobilize resources in the increasingly competitive world. Systematic knowledge regarding key factors linked with funding outcome is lacking, making it hard to offer practical suggestions to help nonprofits launch successful crowdfunding campaigns. In this study, we looked at 109 grassroots nonprofit campaigns on Tencent Philanthropy, one of China’s largest nonprofit crowdfunding platforms. We investigated to what extent demonstration of legitimacy, arguments for worthiness and social network influence campaign outcome. Results show that Chinese donors do not care much about the organization’s legal status or accountability measures. Demonstration of organizational competence, the use of concrete personal stories in the pledge, and to offer low-risk solutions (such as direct cash and in-kind assistance) are linked with campaign success. Comparing with the pledger’s own social network and marketing capacity, viral network and viral marketing are more important in crowdfunding.

摘要：眾籌為非營利組織提供了新的機會以在競爭日益激烈的世界中動員資源。缺乏與籌款成果相關的關鍵因素

的系統知識，很難提供實用性的建議來幫助非營利組織開展成功的眾籌活動。在這項研究中，我們研究了 109 個

在騰訊公益，中國最大的非營利性眾籌平臺上的家草根非營利性籌款項目。我們研究了合法性的呈現，對募捐額

的解釋和社會網絡在多大程度上對籌款項目的成果產生影響。結果表明，中國捐贈者並不太在乎組織的合法地位

或者問責措施。組織能力的呈現，在承諾中對具體個人故事的使用，和提供低風險的解決方案（如直接的現金和

實物援助）與募款成功有關系。與承諾者自身的社會網絡和營銷能力相比，傳染式的網絡和營銷方式在眾籌中更

為重要。

Are Our Assumptions About Diaspora and Immigrant Philanthropy Generalizable? Exploring the

Relevance to High-Income Countries of Origin | 我們關於散居和移民慈善事業的假設是否可以推廣？探索與

高收入原籍國的相關性

Jennifer M. Brinkerhoff, Jasmine McGinnis Johnson, Dangis Gudelis

Abstract: We examine the relevance of suggestive findings and assumptions about immigrant philanthropy to a diaspora from a high-income country of origin, whose members are generally highly educated and professionally employed: the Lithuanian diaspora. We investigate whether this immigrant group’s voluntary sector participation, despite these differences, may evolve similar to that of other immigrant groups studied.

7

The study casts doubt on the generalizability of the current claims from the literature—which is largely derived from cases of immigrants migrating from the South to the North—to immigrant and diaspora groups who are highly skilled and originating from relatively more industrialized countries (North–North migration). The findings highlight the need to examine the voluntary sector participation of a greater variety of diasporas and to recognize that not all groups will behave similarly. Some of the differentiated behavior may stem from demographic characteristics specific to North–North migration.

Religious Communities and Civil Society in Europe: Analysis and Perspectives on A Complex Interplay |

歐洲的宗教社區和公民社會：對一個復雜相互影響的分析與視角

Rupert Graf Strachwitz (Ed.)

Religious Communities and Civil Society in Europe released the first volume. The seemingly vitalizing impact of religiosity on civil society is a research topic that has been extensively looked into, not only in the USA, but increasingly also in a European context. What is missing is an evaluation of the role of institutionalized religious communities, and of circumstances that facilitate or impede their status as civil society organisations. This anthology in two volumes aims at closing this gap by providing case studies regarding political, legal and historical aspects in various European countries. Vol. I provides an introduction and looks at cases in Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as chapters on legal issues and data, and comprehensive bibliography.

initiative first launched by the ISTR (International Society for Third-Sector Research) and the Centre for Social Innovation

Studies in the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2016 to help scholars and students in East Asia and beyond to exchange

information about publications, conferences and job vacancies in third-sector studies through this Newsletter. Starting

from November 2018, the Asia Institute of the University of Melbourne becomes the host of the Newsletter, and the scope

of the Newsletter and the network has expanded to cover the entire Asia Pacific. You are welcome to follow us on Facebook

(ISTR-Asia Pacific) and Weibo (@亚太第三部门研究网络).

亞太第三部門研究人員網絡（前身为東亞第三部門研究人員網絡）是由 ISTR（國際第三部門研究學會）和香港中文大學社

會創新研究中心於 2016 年發起成立。該網絡旨在通過發布每月通訊為亞太及其他地區的學者和學生提供第三部門研究領域

出版物，學術會議，職位空缺等相關信息交流。從 2018 年 11 月起，墨爾本大學亞洲研究院成為該通訊的主辦單位，該通

訊和研究網絡的範圍也擴大到整個亞太地區。歡迎您在 Facebook (ISTR-Asia Pacific) 和微博（@亞太第三部门研究网络）
