Revenue model

1. Public Donations (个人及企业捐款): The foundation raises funds directly from individual donors and corporate partners through online platforms (WeChat, Tencent Gongyi, Taobao), offline bank transfers, and postal donations. Donors can specify designated用途 or leave funds to the foundation's general discretion for purposes aligned with its mission. The foundation reports total historical donations of approximately 3,750,568,500 RMB (375,056.85万元) and 2026 donations of approximately 172,570,800 RMB (17,257.08万元).
2. Corporate Strategic Partnerships (企业战略合作): CSAF partners with corporations (e.g., 中国平安, 腾讯, 阿里巴巴, 康弘药业, 晖致医药, 北京嘉曼服饰, 泰康溢彩) who provide funding or in-kind donations for specific branded programs. These partnerships are typically structured as co-branded projects with matched funding arrangements.
3. Government Projects (政府采购项目): CSAF receives funding from central government programs such as the 2025年中央财政支持社会组织参与社会服务项目 (e.g., 助扶万家 received 800,000 RMB from central government plus 800,000 RMB matched by Tencent Foundation). These government-funded projects cover specific social service delivery mandates.
4. Investment Income (投资理财): The foundation conducts investment activities as approved by its board of directors (e.g., 2025年投资理财计划), generating returns on its endowment portfolio. As a civil affairs-affiliated foundation, it operates under regulatory constraints governing social organization investments.
