We aim to develop and disseminate knowledge to advance and improve the practice of philanthropy and social innovation in China

 

Stanford PACS’ China program was launched in 2012. It aims to serve and connect academics and practitioners focused on the social impact sector in China. Stanford PACS is an original anchor program of the Stanford Center at Peking University where we host an annual conference each spring to explore topics related to philanthropy and social innovation. Stanford PACS also conducts China-focused research, hosts China-focused postdoctoral fellows, provides opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to engage in cross-cultural exchange, and hosts learning expeditions to Stanford for Chinese philanthropists, foundation and nonprofit leaders. We work with the Leping Foundation to produce a Chinese language version of the Stanford Social Innovation Review and have partnered with the East Asia Library at Stanford University to host the first ever digital archive of Chinese NGOs.
