Philanthropy in China is in the middle of doing everything everywhere all at once — building a broad-based culture of charitable giving; appealing to a new generation of donors; and experimenting with the use of technology to meet these goals. These developments took decades, if not centuries, to evolve in the West.

This has drastically lowered the barrier to entry for would-be donors: more than half of 99 Giving Day donations (53%) were donations of less than 10 yuan ($1.45). As a point of comparison, the average online donation in the U.S. is $128 — a much higher entry point.
