Launched in 2010, BSR’s three-year CiYuan project aims to build cross-sector partnerships that enhance social investment in China—a critical element in developing the country’s nonprofit sector and addressing its growing social and environmental challenges.
To help local foundations and NGOs become effective partners for business, and to help companies integrate philanthropy into their core business strategies, BSR recently published two resources:
“Catalyzing Social Investment in China”—which features interviews with China’s leading philanthropists from the nonprofit, foundation, and business sectors as well as representatives from academia and government—outlines the sector’s history, trends, challenges, and opportunities.
The “Chinese Foundation Development Handbook” (available in Chinese only) helps individuals and companies establish and operate effective private foundations, including developing a mission and strategy, governance practices, and human resources.
The CiYuan project also held a recent workshop on best practices in cross-sector partnerships in the supply chain, and plans to hold similar workshops focused on community development and the environment over the next year. For more information, contact Brooke Avory or Adam Lane.
