银杏基金会

What 银杏基金会 does

北京市银杏公益基金会 (Beijing Ginkgo Public Welfare Foundation), operating under the short name 银杏基金会 (Ginkgo Foundation), is a Beijing-registered nonprofit grant-making foundation founded on July 20, 2015 and registered with the Beijing Civil Affairs Bureau. The organization is positioned as a "hub-type grant-making foundation" (枢纽型资助型基金会) whose mission is to find, connect, and activate young action-takers with a social entrepreneurship spirit in order to jointly produce social impact. It does not develop technology products; rather, it operates four interrelated grant and capacity-building programs — 深化支持 (Deepened Support), 催化协同 (Catalytic Collaboration), 下沉拓展 (Extended Development), and 行业支持 (Industry Support) — anchored by the flagship 银杏伙伴成长计划 (Ginkgo Partner Growth Program), a multi-cycle talent cultivation track that supports social entrepreneurs and grassroots nonprofit leaders over multiple years.

The foundation's beneficiaries fall into three primary segments: (1) social entrepreneurs and public welfare talent who receive professional growth support, leadership training, and collaborative action funding; (2) Chinese social philanthropy and charity organizations that receive grants and capacity-building to break through growth bottlenecks; and (3) regional and thematic hub organizations that co-create sub-national support plans with the foundation to reach frontline public welfare actors. The foundation operates from a single headquarters in Dongcheng District, Beijing, and is staffed by a lean seven-person core team: a Secretary General (张伯驹), a Finance Compliance Director (肖莉), an Operations Manager (刘扬扬), and four Project Managers, each owning one of the four program pillars.

As a public welfare foundation, the organization does not sell products or services. Its operating budget is funded through charitable donations, grants, and program expenditures, with no commercial pricing model. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed in the available sources. The foundation has demonstrated sustained operational continuity, publishing annual reports from 2015 through 2025, and maintains institutionalized transparency via disclosed governance charters, regulatory filings, work reports, and audit reports on its official website (ginkgofoundation.org). It also operates Chinese-language channels on WeChat and Weibo for stakeholder communications.
