GOOD EATS, GOOD TIMES, GOOD CAUSES
 

Founded in 2009 in Beijing with a mission of giving back, Chi Fan For Charity is a modern take of a gala charity dinner. We have organized in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Hong Kong in the past 15 years, raising over 10 million Yuan to support 30+ charities and people in need.
 

As the Chi Fan For Charity - Shanghai enters its 12th year, raising close to 3 million Yuan for people in need, the Chi Fan For Charity Spirit - "Good Eats, Good Times, Good Causes" - has spread awareness widely amongst the community.

Quality Education, Gender Equality, Sustainable Cities and Communities, as well as the Partnerships under the UN-SDGs (United Nation Sustainable Development Goals) framework are of key focus by the CFFC charity fund. We are so proud to be part of this great cause and, together with your support, to make a difference!

As the CFFC community continues growing, a strategy is in place so that the organization is well positioned to capitalize on opportunities via the following means,

• To expand its geographical footprint across China by providing more opportunities for people to enjoy the spirit of CFFC.
• To increase awareness within the community and motivating people to support the cause of the UN-SDGs.
• To bring together CFFC supporters with the goal of aiding vulnerable groups in need across the country.

After careful discussion and professional social impact assessment using the framework of After careful discussion and professional social impact assessment using the framework of “Sustainability, Expertise, Impact and Efficiency” by Philanthropy in Motion, three non-for-profit charity organizations were appointed as charity recipients of this year’s CFFC-SH charity fund. Their charitable activities cover the areas of health care and rural development, which are all under the UN Sustainable Development Goals of "Good Health and Well-Being and Sustainable Cities and Communities".Now we'd like to invite you to get a closer look at these 3 organizations and know more about them—
