There are two kinds of charitable foundations in China: public offering and non-public offering. The difference lies in whether to raise funds for the public. The foundation obtains charitable funds through fundraising, and manages and uses them. In the process of managing the fund, the foundation will also face the problem of maintaining and increasing the value of charitable funds, which needs to be realized through safe and reliable investment.

Under normal circumstances, the fund will operate through the purchase of government bonds, bank deposits, equity investment and other means. There are also some foundations that entrust professional financial companies to manage their finances. Through the preservation and appreciation of the fund, the foundation can better play its role in the direction of assistance for disabled orphans, education, disaster relief, medical security, public services and so on.
