Foundation applauds increased transparency of charity sector in explaining use of donations

The level of information disclosure by China's charity organizations has been raised considerably, amid a slew of measures to improve the sector's self-discipline and regulation, according to a leading foundation.

"Compared with a year ago, the number of charitable groups engaged in relief work in the earthquake-stricken area of Ya'an, Sichuan province, for instance, which have disclosed their donation details, has increased by 120," said Tao Ze, vice-president of the China Foundation Center, an online charitable foundation service platform.
