“When my son and I first came to China for philanthropy, capital was the main demand. But with the development of China, capital is no longer lacking. The problem now is to understand how to make better use of donations to make it play a greater role. This is the purpose of our joint donation to establish CGPI.”
Niu Gensheng
“I hope CGPI will become a cradle for the training of philanthropy professionals, a platform for international philanthropy exchanges, and a window for the exhibition of philanthropy in China.”
Ma Weihua
“As the first international philanthropy institute established by Chinese and American philanthropists in China, CGPI uses modern philanthropy knowledge system as its foundation. Its morphological structure includes theoretical mentors, practical mentors, and training bases. Philanthropy requires talents. moreover, professional talents. Apart from training philanthropy leaders and public welfare executives, we also have an important mission - to popularize philanthropy education to the whole society. This is undoubtedly the responsibility.”

“At the present stage of development in China, the transformation of knowledge production methods is of special importance. Only actionable and long-chain knowledge can truly help control the development of the times. The overall development of philanthropy in China needs to integrate into the world in an open pattern. Philanthropy education requires the support of a modern philanthropy knowledge system, and we should establish a modern philanthropy knowledge system with both international perspectives and Chinese traditions.”
