The Establishment of YouChange Foundation

Project Operation Advocacy

The best route to tackle social problems, like education,

environment, and sustainability est., was to establish a new,

private foundation.

The Lag of Concepts

• Most of the non-profits in the third sector in China barely understood

and recognized the new concepts of social innovation and social

enterprise.

• Blurred definition of social enterprises

• Lack of policy towards social enterprises.

• Ongoing debates in media on whether the charity and philanthropy

shall have any connection with making money

The inefficiency of resources allocation

• The biggest obstacle to Chinese urban and rural comprehensive, balanced and sustainable development

Things we are not short of

The Importance of Collaboration

• Complexity calls for vision from many angles and

participation from all stakeholders.

• The connection between decision- making of public

policies from the top down and fulfillment of social

demand from the bottom up, can only be realized by

collaboration.

YouChange is a social innovation support platform.

We are in the midst of a huge historical changes .Unlike in the past,Modern

humans have a special liking to innovation rather than revolution,this is the

new progress of human.

Innovation in essence is different from the old , It is a win-win approach,

through the means of value creation and mode change to solve social

problem,rather than using the method of zero-sum, value destroy and the

interests of the reorganization.

Instead of the confrontational, static,and closed ways, We want to use

integrational,dynamic and open eyes to look at new charity.
