Mission

This forum grouped a line of 7 top-tier and renowned scholars from the United States, United Kingdom, China (Hongkong), France and Canada in the fields of Chinese humanities, politics and economics studies. The scholars, with their deep knowledge of Chinese and Western studies and international perspectives, explored in depth the ideologies behind current day political and economic trends, and put forward their visions of future changes in China and the world to present a comprehensive, systematic and in-depth understanding of how China will face the world and its transformation in the century.

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
