Our Operations in China
CNF operates in China, where appropriate, through our partnership with Shanghai ChinaNext NGO Development Centre (上海明日公益事业发展中心), a locally-registered NGO regulated by Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau（上海市民政局). ChinaNext Foundation and Chinanext Shanghais' operations were under the leadership of the same board between 2014-2020, when their accounts were consolidated. We adopted the higher governance standards where they are different.
In 2021, a decision was made to separate the operations of the two charities more formally. As the two institutions are now led by different boards and staff differently, they are no longer institutions under the same control. But we still work closely together.
