Abstract: Over the past decade, Chinese universities have been giving increased emphasis to institutional advancement through philanthropic fundraising. Private contributions received by China’s universities have increased rapidly. This study aims to understand the development, current status and challenges in China’s university fundraising by looking at the central actor: institutionally related foundations (IRFs). By presenting analyses and a case study on the organisation function, structure and fundraising practices of China’s leading university IRFs, this paper reveals and summarises some unique characteristics and development patterns of university fundraising and IRFs’ development in China, hoping to provide stakeholders with helpful reference and insights to understand China’s rising higher education fundraising.
