The school foundation is to continuously inject the funds needed for the development of universities.

Since the birth of modern universities, capital has been a difficult problem. The cost of running a university is increasing, especially for universities with long-term goals and ambitions. It is neither desirable nor reliable to balance the cost of running a university by relying solely on one or several incomes. The only way for modern universities to solve this problem is to seek wider supporters.

Based on this, the foundation's establishment and development has become an important platform for colleges and universities to raise social funds and solve the funding problem, and it is also an important starting point for colleges and universities to get out of the financial model of "doing things with less money, no money and no job" and optimize the structure of capital sources. In China, compared with other non-profit foundations, university foundations should hand in better transcripts. This is not only because it can leverage the social status and influence of colleges and universities, but also because it holds rich and high-quality alumni resources.

Unfortunately, the foundation of more than 400 universities in China is generally weak. Although they have begun to take shape, some of them can hardly guarantee their own survival, let alone make great achievements. The funds from the Foundation are not only the "most cost-effective sum of money" of the university, but also the amount of funds raised and the annual increase are vivid footnotes of the quality and social influence of the university. Judging from the situation of domestic university foundations, most of them have poor ability to gather wealth, narrow financing scope and mostly come from alumni, and the financing form is only monetary assets.
