Charitable donations top 100b yuan, mostly from companies

Donations to charity from home and abroad surpassed the 100 billion yuan ($15.7 billion) mark in 2014, without any major disasters occurring during the period, according to an annual report released on Saturday.

However, donations from the public only accounted for 11 percent, dropping for a third consecutive year, said the report.

The report was released by the China Charity and Donation Information Center, an organization affiliated with the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It has researched charity donations and issued annual reports since 2008.
