近代资本主义生产生活方式对中国传统慈善事业的影响——以北京为例

以交通、通讯、新闻舆论等为典型代表的近代西方资本主义生产与生活方式传入中国后，它们或便利救济物资的调配，或加速救助对象的区域流动，或监督与制约救济事务的运转，或宣传与流播新型慈善思想等，从整体上对中国传统慈善活动的近代转型发挥强大的刺激与推动作用。     

The Effects of the Facial Expression of Beneficiaries in Charity Appeals and Psychological Involvement on Donation Intentions

To increase the effectiveness of fundraising campaigns, many human‐need charities include pictures of beneficiaries in their ads. However, it is unclear when and why the facial expression of these beneficiaries (sad versus happy) may influence the effectiveness of charity ads. To answer these questions, an experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of the facial expression on donation intentions, while considering the moderating role of psychological involvement with charities. It found that psychological involvement with charities moderated the impact of the facial expression on donation intentions in that seeing a picture of a sad versus happy person increased intentions to give among participants with lower levels of psychological involvement, whereas the reverse was true for highly involved participants. The moderating effect of psychological involvement was fully explained by the perceived efficacy of one's donation. The findings not only contribute to our understanding of the effect of the facial expression of people pictured in charity appeals on donation behavior, but also suggest that nonprofits should tailor their ads to target potential donors with various levels of psychological involvement with charities.     

孝养为主、慈善为辅、政府为助——农村养老方式的社会学思考

农村养老牵系亿万农村家庭和数以亿万计的农村老人；在21世纪的今天，农村养老不仅仅是一个个农村的家庭的家庭经济、伦理道德问题，它关系着社会主义的全面小康社会能否建成、社会能否实现和谐稳定的社会问题；而且还是一个重大的政治问题。解决好农村养老，必须从我国基本国情出发，采取中国特色的养老模式——以孝养老、政府调控、社会力量辅助多条腿走路，保证我国农村老人衣食无忧、精神愉悦，安度晚年。

Marketing of Voluntary Organizations as Contract Providers of National and Local Government Welfare Services in the UK

Voluntary organisations have become major providers of numerous social welfare services that previously were supplied by the state. In Britain, between 35 and 40% of the average human services charity’s annual income now derives from government (predominantly local government) sources, meaning that the acquisition of fresh contracts to undertake government funded work, in conjunction with the maintenance of good relations with government funders vis-à-vis current assignments, is increasingly important for ensuring a human service charity’s financial survival. An organization that wishes to obtain new contracts and to keep government bodies satisfied with its present activities will need to market itself effectively. This empirical study examined two aspects of charity marketing relevant to this requirement: the extent to which voluntary organizations applied the principles of strategic account management (otherwise known as key account management) to their relations with government funders, and the organizational characteristics (passion and commitment, low wage costs, etc.) that they emphasized to government bodies when making bids. A number of organizational variables (e.g., mission rigidity, strategic intent, short term operational focus) were employed in regression analyses as possible determinants of: (i) the degree to which a charity used strategic account management; and (ii) the genres of the organizational characteristics that it accentuated when tendering for government funded work.

关于网络募捐的监管问题

作为新生事物的网络募捐,虽然有着独特的社会救助效应,但也暴露出其在法律依据、主体确认、可信度、救助效果等方面存在的问题。要从分析网络募捐的定位和存在问题入手,探讨网络募捐的监管问题。要明确如何通过加快立法进程、加强审批和管理、加强网络监管、建立监督与评估机制等方面加强对网络募捐的监管,从而引导和规范网络募捐健康发展。     

Do Donors Care? Some Australian Evidence

It is commonly believed that individuals would donate more to charity if they were assured that the funds would not be wasted. This is a common answer to survey type investigations into charitable giving. In this paper we adopt a law and finance approach to investigate the validity of this contention in the Australian context. We develop an Accountability Rights variable and relate that variable to charitable donations. The relationship between the two is statistically weak and not robust.     

论政府在社会救助中的责任限度

社会救助是政府应该承担的法律责任,而不仅仅是道义责任。政府在社会救助中起主导作用,负主要责任,需承担立法责任、宣传责任等宏观责任,同时也要承担提供社会救助资金,管理社会事务等微观责任。社会互助则是政府救助的必要补充。各级政府要按照社会救助制度的不同特性和发挥所长,优势互补的原则,确定应承担责任的种类。政府责任水平也要进行合理的界定,要与国情相适应,既要防止社会救助水平过低,也要防止救助水平超度,纠正政府在社会救助中的越位、缺位和错位行为。     

明清时期苏北地区慈善机构的历史考察——以善会和善堂为中心

慈善组织认定中的基本法律问题

2016年3月公布的《慈善法》最终确立了慈善组织认定制.慈善组织认定是由认定机关对组织的慈善属性做出肯定的行政确认行为.已认定的慈善组织具有特定的法律地位,包括享有冠名权、公益捐赠票据申领权、公益性捐赠税前扣除资格确认权、公开募捐资格申请权等.慈善组织认定的申请主体是非营利组织,不限于在民政部门登记的社会组织.民政部门应该建立慈善组织认定委员会进行"慈善属性"的事实判断.慈善组织的认定标准包括具备法人资格、以慈善活动为宗旨、满足慈善活动支出和管理费用标准、不以营利为目的等.目前,慈善组织认定的法律规定仍有不足之处,需要在实践中进一步补充和细化.
