Third，the development of philanthropy showing the multi-level，diversified development trend，charitable and cultural infiltration into a number of areas such as enterprise，campus and community. But we must also soberly aware that as a global city，Shanghai’s philanthropy still exists many problems which need to breakthrough such as the popularity of the modern charity concept，the transparency of Foundation，the problems of credibility and mutual legal discipline，the specialization and professional of foundations，improvement of the tax system problems.
