Abstract

Strong financial support is an essential prerequisite for ensuring the quality of education. As the scale of higher education institutions continues to expand, the demand for educational funding keeps increasing. Social donations, as a significant source of funds, highlight the importance of educational foundations. This paper reviews the development history, policy support, and primary fundraising targets of China's higher education foundations. Based on the existing issues in the development of higher education foundations in China, it proposes specific recommendations in four areas: strengthening the construction of a professional talent pool, enhancing the depth and breadth of information disclosure, increasing transparency in the use of donation funds, improving the quality of talent development, and paying continuous attention to graduate employment and career development. It also suggests engaging in digital philanthropy and utilizing social media platforms to enhance two-way interaction, thereby promoting higher education foundations to better fulfill their role and support the sustainable development of China's higher education.
