Partner Organization: The China Social Enterprise and Impact Investment Forum

Project Duration: Sep 2014 – Aug 2017

Project Status: Completed

The China Social Enterprise and Impact Investment Forum was proposed by the founder of Canyou Group, Mr Zheng Weining, spurred by the flourishing global social enterprise sector in recent years. Together with the chairman of Narada Foundation, Mr Xu Yongguang, they actively pushed for the involvement of sixteen organizations who share the same vision of promoting social enterprise and impact investing in China. The organizations include the Beijing Yifang Foundation, the Narada Foundation, the Shenzhen Zhengweining Charity Foundation and the Social Enterprise Research Centre. The forum aspires to be the leading network platform and key builders of the social enterprise and impact investing industry in China. Within the span of three years (Sep 2014-Aug 2017), a series of events and activities were organized including an annual meeting, research projects, advocacy drives and network member services. The forum even served to connect Chinese and international companies, promoting a healthy exchange of knowledge and skills.
