Lawyer: Pay attention to ensure the safety and transparency of funds
Fu Jian, director of Henan Zejin Law Firm, believes that in China, according to the Charity Law, individuals are not allowed to carry out public fundraising activities for the public. The law encourages the public to carry out charitable activities through charitable organizations, aiming to regulate fundraising and protect the legitimate rights and interests of donors and beneficiaries. Therefore, if a group raises funds within China, it must be a legally registered charitable organization and follow legal procedures and requirements.
At the same time, Fu Jian also said that for groups located in the United States to launch fundraising activities and accept donations from Chinese netizens, this usually involves the laws and international regulations of the two countries. The U.S. has relatively well-established laws on fundraising, including penalties for misrepresentation and other violations. At the same time, China's Law on the Administration of Domestic Activities of Overseas Non-** Organizations also regulates the activities of overseas organizations in China.
In short, fundraising activities must strictly comply with local laws and regulations, and donation channels need to develop strict financial systems, including donation records, use of funds, financial statements, etc., to ensure the transparency and traceability of funds. Fu Jian said.
