Question 2: What is the meaning of donation? 1. Donations are used to help people in need to tide over their immediate difficulties.
2. The behavior that individuals and units give money to other people and units is called donation.
3. Donation, donation (English: unrestaurant) is a gift or donation for public or charitable purposes, with various uses. Donation is kindness, giving one's own money, materials, services, body organs, time, reputation, etc. Sponsor beneficiaries, such as charities and vulnerable groups. From the religious point of view, donation is the savings of public morality, which can be divided into "virtue" and "virtue". The virtue of virtue is that kindness is unknown, and most of them call themselves "unknown officials." Yinde was once known as "noble sentiment", as opposed to purposeful donation. Mingde is a charitable person, some of whom are famous. The purpose is to get the title of philanthropist and MBE, or to be proud of the naming of schools, buildings and places, and to exchange tickets for charity concerts, dinners, dinners and dances, souvenirs, thank-you awards and tax exemptions.
Question 3: The purpose and significance of establishing charity. 10 the implementation and benefits of charitable foundations.
If the enterprise has established a charitable foundation, it can donate money and materials to the society on its own. However, due to the nature of corporate charitable foundations, they have no right to raise funds from the society; Large-scale charitable investments of enterprises, such as the establishment of Hope School, Hope Park and Helping the Disabled Center, must go through the declaration procedures of Zhejiang Provincial Civil Affairs Department and then be examined and approved by the Bureau of Land Management.
Since charitable foundations are completely public welfare departments, what "benefits" make enterprises so keen on charity?
According to western economics, citizens and enterprises can choose two different ways to perform the duties of taxpayers: they can pay part of their income as tax; Or donate it to charity as a social donation. There is no order or difference between the two. In this way, instead of paying taxes to * * *, individuals and enterprises decide the public expenditure of this fee, it is better to use part of their income as social feedback and directly use it for public welfare or welfare undertakings. From this, we can draw one of the "charity benefits": individual enterprises do not take the * * * route = tax exemption.
Of course, the benefits of charitable funds being talked about by western enterprises are not only "tax exemption", but also "soft advertisements" called brands by western entrepreneurs. In foreign countries, every entrepreneur has an idea: corporate brand is not only corporate property, but also social public property. On a larger scale, the brand will even become a symbol of a city, a province, a country or an era. Therefore, many foreign entrepreneurs are very willing to invest in charitable funds to build "public welfare brands", so that the "characteristic brands" of enterprises can reflect public welfare values, enhance affinity and attract consumers. Furthermore, for enterprises, charitable foundations create activity funds through voluntary donations among employees, help employees in difficulty, and increase the cooperation and interaction of all employees, which is conducive to creating a "harmonious and happy" corporate moral culture.
How much does Zheshang Charity Foundation know?
According to the introduction of Zhejiang Civil Affairs Bureau, there are about 15 registered enterprises with charitable foundations, such as Zhejiang Dongsheng Printing and Dyeing Co., Ltd. and Wenzhou Yekangsong Charity Association. Compared with hundreds of thousands of enterprises in Zhejiang, this figure is really a small number, that is to say, more than 99.99% of enterprises have never set up a charity fund department.
Since charitable funds have so many benefits, why do Zhejiang businessmen who set foot in this field find it difficult? The reporter learned from Zhejiang Charity Association that the imperfection of China's charity fund law is the main factor leading to the failure to popularize charity funds. Now, this issue has attracted the attention of relevant departments: On June 1 2004, the State Council promulgated the Regulations on Fund Law; In June 2005, 1 1, the Guiding Outline for the Development of Philanthropy in China (2006-20 10) was formulated. The promulgation of these two laws and regulations has laid a good legal guarantee for the development of corporate charitable funds in China, and also marked a milestone in the development of corporate charitable funds in China.
However, will the development of charitable foundations be smooth since the introduction of laws and regulations? The answer is unknown. According to the greatest benefits brought to enterprises and individuals by the Regulations on Fund Law and the Guiding Outline for the Development of Philanthropy in China (2006~20 10), "the donations made by enterprises, institutions, social organizations and individuals to charities in China are allowed to be deducted in full before paying corporate income tax and personal income tax." However, according to statistics, this year, the national civil affairs system received a total of 654.38+0.7 billion personal donations, and the personal tax rebate rate was zero. Part of the reason is that public welfare laws and regulations have just been implemented and are not compatible with many legislations. However, the reporter learned that the real reason is that China's charitable foundations have not adopted the general meeting system, and all the guarantees formulated by laws and regulations can only be implemented in 10 national charities. Laws and regulations on charitable funds are equivalent to giving local enterprises a blank check.
In enterprises, charitable foundations are bound by the concept of legal person, and the concept of legal person put forward in economics is difficult to determine the legal person status of China charitable foundations. The legal persons of foreign enterprises are strictly divided according to the laws of corporate legal persons and consortium legal persons. The company belongs to the legal person, and the charitable foundation belongs to the consortium legal person, which is a level. In other words, charitable foundations should be a completely independent part, which can be free from the administration of * * * and enterprises. However, the current law in China does not establish the concept of consortium legal person, and almost all charitable foundations in China still rely on the management of the company and lack independence.

Question 4: Is charitable donation meaningful? One is compassion and the other is charity. True charity should be charity without additional requirements. Charity itself is a kind of happiness and satisfaction.
Charity is an effort to improve human welfare out of enthusiasm for human beings. Donation is one of its means.
Question 5: What is the purpose of entrepreneur's charitable donation? The general idea in the west: 1 Charity is the most profitable business. Generally speaking, entrepreneurs' business and profits are much worse than before and after charity. Charity has made great contributions to changing public image, enhancing influence and strengthening credibility. Doing good deeds pays off. Why doesn't ..................................................................................................... do such a profitable thing ... Charity is the best way to repay society. Enthusiastic entrepreneurs will do it, but those who seek fame and profit will do it. Fame and fame are both good deeds and good deeds for the rich. But it's not so easy for China: it's generally believed that China people have complicated thinking, and they don't think they are doing good deeds, but they have ulterior motives, seek fame and seek fame, and do bad things to achieve a balance. Showing off ... inevitably, there are such rich people, but most of them are good. They just want to do something for the society ... just like being brave, which makes people shudder. In order to avoid China people's hatred and jealousy of the rich, we can only take the golden mean, hide our strengths and bide our time, and ignore charity. Many entrepreneurs say that they don't want to do it, but they can't do it. Check the tax, here comes the gangster. Others will only think that he is rich and will not think that he is doing good deeds. The psychology that the rich don't show their wealth leads to a cold invitation to charity. Corporate donations and donations from large entrepreneurs are almost extinct. Can you blame the rich for being rich and heartless?
Question 6: What is the meaning of donation? What is the meaning of donation? This is a problem. Maybe everyone will think that donations are used to help the affected people and help them tide over the immediate difficulties. This is true, and this is also the reason for the donation. But if everyone thinks so, donation is a good thing. However, if someone doesn't think so, the meaning of donation will deteriorate and become an ugly thing. People will ask, what is this idea? What turned out to be a good thing turned into an ugly thing? That is, if your idea is to donate money for "buying gold coins", I still want to thank you here. Why? Because you donated money, and the money you donated can help those affected by the disaster. Although I don't know how much you donated, which can help people in need more or less, the meaning of your personal donation has deteriorated with your thoughts and turned into an ugly thing. And I believe that most people's ideas are still good, but I still hope that there are not too many people who have such ideas. Some people may say I'm not. How do I know? I don't want to know, but it depends on my conscience. So I hope everyone's donation has only one meaning. Please support the donation. But I still hope that everyone can donate more, and you can help some people with less money. Why not? Everyone is from China. Some people may think that this is an investment with no return, so they don't donate. That's right. This is a free donation. Although there is no reward, the people you help will thank you and you will be happy that you have done something meaningful. You can think that if someone helps you when you need help most, and this one may change your life, then you will be very grateful to the person who helped you. If the person who pulled you wants you so much, it's no use pulling you back, so I won't pull you. What will happen to you? People always need help from others, right?
Question 7: What does charity mean? Charity means: compassionate.
(Charity ● Charity ● Grace ● Grace ● Kindness)
There is no "philanthropist" in China's Ci Yuan, Ci Hai and Modern Chinese Dictionary. The Encyclopedia of China published a few years ago has a related entry of "charity", which is defined as: "Out of sympathy, pity or religious belief, social undertakings that help the poor and the weak with money or goods or provide other practical help ... have strong religion and superstition, and their purpose is to do good deeds and seek good returns; Charity people usually regard charity as a kind of charity ... For a few people, it is only a temporary negative relief ... Its social effect is controversial. " The Encyclopedia Britannica defines the term "charitable foundation" as: "Non-governmental non-profit organizations, funded by donors and managed by their own staff, serve the purpose of benefiting society with their income." The definition of "charity" in Great America Encyclopedia is: "One of the oldest social traditions, which promotes human welfare through money donation and other services." Regarding the concept of "charity", there is such a big difference between praise and criticism! In fact, there are organizations like china charity federation in our country, so it seems necessary to redefine the words "charity" and "philanthropist".
World history describes the tradition of social assistance since ancient Greece and Rome. American history tells a historical fact that this tradition was brought to the United States with immigrants. American philanthropy flourished unprecedentedly after the War of Independence, such as organizing the American Anti-Slavery Association, providing education opportunities for workers in new york, establishing the Children's Aid Association, and establishing shelters, hospitals and cultural organizations all over the United States. After World War II, individual donations were tax-free, and the rich were keen on charity. For example, the Rockefeller family donated more than $654.38 billion for four generations; Bill? Gates has invested $26 billion in charity, accounting for 54% of his total wealth, and even made a will early: 99% of his wealth will be donated to charity after his death.
China's philanthropy also has its own long tradition. Temples in Han and Tang dynasties have a long history of poverty alleviation, disaster relief, medical treatment and prohibition of killing. The prosperity of supporting the elderly in Song Dynasty: the rise of meta-medical assistance; Folk charities in Ming and Qing Dynasties were second to none in the history of charity in China. More importantly, since the opening to the outside world, groups of social elites, celebrities, entrepreneurs and retired cadres have been quietly engaged in charitable relief for flood, poor primary and secondary school students, poor AIDS and cataract patients. Statistics show that at least half of the rich people require that the facts and amount of their donations be kept secret.
It's just that people who get rich first at the moment can't give society a satisfactory return. According to the data released by china charity federation, 70% of its donations come from foreign countries, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the domestic rich people's donations are insufficient 15%. Last year, 135 individuals selected for various "philanthropist lists" donated a total of 985 million yuan, about 1 100 million US dollars. However, the proportion of China enterprises whose total assets exceed10 million dollars is less than 1%. From 2000 to 2004, the top 50 philanthropists in the United States donated a total of $65 billion, an average of about $654.38+0.3 billion per year. Although there is not much comparability between the two countries, does this also reflect the gap between the two countries in social responsibility and public welfare? At present, the lack of domestic charitable organizations, the limited ability to mobilize social resources, the lag of preferential tax policies, the imperfection of charitable laws and regulations, and the lack of credibility of charitable organizations have become obstacles to the development of charity in China. Are these problems related to the "charity view" reflected in Encyclopedia of China? Chen Shuaifo donates 500 yuan RMB to the society.
Charity is not only a barometer of economic development, but also a balancer to adjust the gap between the rich and the poor. Realize the initial distribution of income through the market; The secondary distribution of income is realized through the adjustment of * * *; Under the influence of habit and morality, individuals voluntarily donate part or most of their disposable income to society, which is the third income distribution that cannot be underestimated. It helps to narrow the polarization, weaken the mentality of "hating the rich" and is conducive to social harmony.
Should we value "philanthropists" as much as model workers and experts?
