Introduction
Standard Background and Legislative Evolution
This standard, a supporting regulation for the Charity Law, systematically establishes a management framework for online fundraising platforms for the first time, filling a gap in online charity oversight. Following the implementation of the Charity Law in 2016, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in collaboration with the China National Institute of Standardization and other institutions, completed a year-long technical verification and industry research.
Analysis of core requirements
Platform access mechanism
| Links | Key control points | Time limit requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Application | Requires submission of Public fundraising qualification certificate and other materials | No fixed period |
| Review | The Ministry of Civil Affairs will organize experts to conduct a multi-dimensional assessment | Not clear |
| Commitment | Public announcement of service commitment | Launch within 30 working days |
Information display specifications
Typical case: A platform was summoned for failing to differentiate between personal requests for help and charitable donations. Standard 5.2.6 explicitly requires that platforms must set up risk warnings, and technical implementation solutions include:
- Page watermark marked "Non-charity fundraising"
- Mandatory reading of the disclaimer
- Setting a maximum limit for a single donation
Key points for compliance operations
Three principles of fund management
- Direct deposit: Platforms are prohibited from collecting on their behalf (5.4.1)
- Transparent fees: Must be clearly stated on the fundraising page (5.4.3)
- Independent accounting: Service fees must be accounted for separately
Risk prevention and control system
Standard 5.5 requires the establishment of a four-level emergency mechanism:
| Risk Type | Response Measures | Reporting Time Limit |
|---|---|---|
| General Violations | Suspension of Fundraising Activities | Immediately |
| Major Violations | Offline + Report to Civil Affairs | Within 24 Hours |
| Emergency Events | Cooperate with Government Actions | Real-time Response |
Implementation Suggestions
Platform Construction Path
Phase-by-Phase Implementation Roadmap:
- Infrastructure Construction Period (January-March): Complete the docking of the payment system and the development of the filing system
- Compliance Improvement Period (April-June): Establish a credit evaluation model and privacy protection mechanism
- Optimization and Enhancement Period: Conduct big data analysis of fundraising effectiveness
Regulatory Response Strategy
Regarding the 6.3 exit mechanism, it is recommended that the platform:
- Establish a biweekly reporting system to monitor core indicators
- Reserve 3 months of operating funds to deal with unexpected audits
- Develop data migration tools to meet exit requirements
