The social transition in our country entered the accelerating development period in 1978, with the implementation of reforming domestically and opening-up to the world. Domestic reforms include reform of economic system and political system while opening-up to the world refers to taking active attitude to globalization and acceding to WTO. Meanwhile, diversified social needs and a series of social problems have arisen in the period of social transition. All these above provide the necessary conditions for the birth and development of grassroots NGO. Recently, grassroots NGOs have come up in a large number, who play an active role in mitigating the social contradiction, promoting policy advocacy and so on. However, the present studies on grassroots NGO in our country are scarce and scattered, and also unable to reflect the new development of grassroots NGO. Therefore, it is necessary to study deeply on grassroots NGO which appear and develop in the background of social transition to make them grow healthy. Thus they will act their duty better than now so as to promote the building of a harmonious society.This study adopts the method of literature analysis. The first part of this thesis is about the general theories of NGO, including the definition, classification, and theoretical foundation of NGO, as the theoretical reference to the study on grassroots NGO. The second part generally demonstrates the development of Chinese grassroots NGO in the period of social transition, including the definition and classification of grassroots NGO, the conditions of the birth and development of grassroots NGO, the new development of grassroots NGO and the study on the stage of grassroots NGO in the view of NGO life circle. The third part is about the five vital elements of the development of grassroots NGO including organizational mission, organizational legitimacy, finance, human resources and social credit. Organizational mission is demonstrated as the fundamental element on the basis of a case study, which determines the value of the existence of grassroots NGO and whether the resources for public benefits are used effectively and properly. The fourth part studies supportive NGO as an important force of promoting the development of grassroots NGO. Three supportive NGOs are mainly demonstrated, which are China NPO network, Non-profit Incubator and Non-profit Partners.
