Charitable funds are not allowed to pay dividends. According to the Regulations on the Management of Foundations, charitable foundations can make profits through asset investment appreciation and activity fees, but they can't make profits, that is, they can't pay dividends. Non-public offering foundations shall use not less than 8% of the fund balance of the previous year for public welfare undertakings as stipulated in the articles of association. The salary, welfare and administrative expenses of the staff of the Foundation shall not exceed 65,438+00% of the total expenditure of that year. It can be seen that the foundation is for charity, not for profit, not for dividends.
