Public welfare foundation refers to a non-profit legal person established for the purpose of engaging in public welfare undertakings by using the property donated by natural persons, legal persons or other organizations in accordance with the provisions of these regulations. According to the provisions of the Charity Law, the public welfare scope of charitable foundations usually includes:
