Since the launch of Hope Project in June 1989, with the efforts of China Youth Foundation and its authorized implementing agencies at all levels, it has received active support and enthusiastic participation from all walks of life, organizations, enterprises and individuals at home and abroad. It has achieved remarkable implementation effect and comprehensive benefits, won high praise from the Party, the government and the whole society, and has become the most influential and prestigious non-governmental public welfare undertaking in China. The implementation of Project Hope has changed the fate of a large number of out-of-school children, improved the conditions for running schools in poor areas, aroused the awareness of the whole society to attach importance to education, and promoted the development of basic education. It has carried forward the fine tradition of helping the poor and promoted the construction of socialist spiritual civilization.
In order to implement the strategic decision put forward by the China Municipal Government to basically solve the problem of food and clothing for the poor and popularize nine-year compulsory education by the end of this century, to meet the objective needs of the Hope Project itself and to take into account the wishes of all sectors of society, the China Youth Foundation decided to shift the strategic focus of the implementation of the Hope Project from 1999, from general assistance to the follow-up training of outstanding aided students. It is hoped that primary schools will shift from hardware construction to software construction such as teacher training and modern teaching facilities configuration; Project Hope no longer accepts donations directly to help out-of-school children. Those who are interested in donating money to help out-of-school children in poverty-stricken areas are introduced to directly contact rural primary schools in poverty-stricken areas and arrange students through schools.
The hope project in the new century mainly includes the following aspects:

The donation standard is RMB 200,000 and RMB 654.38+10,000.

China Youth Foundation will sign the Donation Agreement with the donors and the Funding Agreement with the provincial Hope Project implementation organization and the county-level people's government where the school is located, so as to ensure the smooth implementation of donation and school building.
