The development of charitable organizations and charitable cause is an effective way to reduce the gap between rich and poor, charitable organization's activities play an important role for the maintenance of social equity, protection of human rights, promote social progress and harmony. The government's attitude and policies towards charitable organizations play a decisive role on charitable organizations' survival, development and growth. Increase efforts to support charitable organizations, in compliance with existing laws and systems under the premise of the charitable organization's development and create favorable conditions to cultivate more main charities, promote of government on charitable organization will definitely provide greater substantive support for them."Strong government, weak society" pattern of Chinese society, and poor condition of non-governmental charitable resource is difficult to fundamentally change in the short term. However, the need of the community philanthropy has become increasingly urgent, cannot wait for the development of charitable organizations, which requires the Government to undertake the responsibility of management of charitable organizations. At present, China's charitable organization is still in the initial stage, need the vigorously nurturing and development of government in the leading charitable cause, through involving human, material and financial resources directly in the operation of charitable organizations, the management of the official today is to tomorrow's release. Government is among the most important external environmental factors for determining the legal status, providing space for development, and building legal environment for charitable organizations. The Chinese government of charitable organizations adopts a dual management system, so that the charitable organizations realize its value by cooperate and coordinate the government policies and acts, under the guidance of the government's needs. Government will have sufficient time and energy to guide and supervise charitable organizations with limited time and energy. Avoid quite a mixed state and the vicious competition, ensuring the purity of the nature of charitable organizations.As the macro-social environment, domestic and international situations, especially the specific origin of charitable organizations of China, naturally decided that there exists natural and close relationship between the government and charitable organizations. In the field of management of charitable organizations, the Chinese government has made remarkable achievements, charitable organizations begin from scratch, have been expanding day by day, and launched the "Hope Project," "glorious cause" and a series of charitable activities which won high social cognition. But there is still a huge gap between China's charitable organizations and the developed countries; the total is low, less per capita, far behind the economic development level. By far, the Chinese Government's management system for charitable organizations is far from perfect, relevant policies and regulations have not been promulgated, meanwhile, there is the lack of relevant laws specifically for charitable organizations, and even though to some extent, relevant laws, regulations and policies have been enacted, there are no specific supporting policies with them. This condition makes the laws difficult to implement, and incompatible with the development of the real charitable organizations. China has no specific regulations and policies to regulate behavior and constraints of charitable organizations. Lack of estate duty, inheritance tax, taxes for regulate social gap between rich and poor, tax incentive to encourage businesses and individuals to participate in charitable activities are also not effective. Absence of government oversight led to the difficulty for charitable organizations to form a good credibility in the general public, lack of the necessary self-discipline, assessment and feedback, and neglect the cultivation of charity professionals, resulting the poor charity fund-raising ability, and the backward self-construction, which could create a huge damage on the weak charities.America's charitable organizations have been deeply probe into every corner of society, becoming an independent third class department, played an irreplaceable role in the management of charitable organizations, which have accumulated a considerable wealth of experience. The U.S. government makes comprehensive and detailed legal rules and tax preferential policies in order to constraint and regular acts of charitable organizations, and to encourage the public to donate to charitable organizations. Tax policy orientation of the U.S. is to encourage people, especially wealthy people to participate in charitable affairs, and the Government has also benefited, that is, to promote the harmony development of society as a whole by mobilizing more social resources through using of fewer tax cuts. Construct monitoring network including government supervision, social supervision and internal controls. Give financial support to charitable organizations through the financial allocations, using loose and transparent management style in order to create conditions conducive to the development of charitable organizations. Meanwhile, the management of charitable organizations is protected by both the government departments and non-governmental organizations. Government uses loose and transparent management style, regards it as an independent department and lets it to play its role. This is undoubtedly an important inspiration and meaning for all charitable organizations in contemporary China's development.Charitable organizations of China are still in its initial stage, philanthropy is still under developed, and social donation has not developed into a regular and large-scale behavior yet. The Chinese government should based on its own real situations, learn from the management of foreign governments on the charitable organization and develop the way of China in line with its social reality. Building legal framework for charities through legislation, to set a targeted specific systems and mechanisms to improve the social contributions tax-free and tax cuts, clarify the government's supervision in the dominant position on charitable organizations to enhance the credibility of charitable organizations, and to ensure the development of charitable organizations through the right track. Try to implement the separate operation mechanism including decision-making, implementation and monitoring, to promote the development of rules and standards of charitable organizations, to enhance supervision, and gradually to form the supervision and management mechanism for industrial self-regulation. Mobilize the social supervision forces, form an independent monitoring mechanism to run and establish a specialized non-governmental organization and management institutions and improve the implementation of various types of charitable organizations under unified supervision, management and coordinate services. Endeavor To make up inadequate government oversight mechanisms. Establish and improve evaluation and feedback mechanisms and open financial system, improve the transparency of fund management and announce to the public timely about the use of donated funds and materials to protect the charitable donors' right to know and to involve. Begin to train existing staff of charitable organizations, establish charitable organizations, professional education and examination qualifications to establish a qualification certification system, and the establishment of relevant professional institutions qualified for the charitable organizations with professional quality of personnel training, effectively promote charitable organizations to adapt to social development needs. At the same time, should be adjusted according to actual situation, charitable organization and management innovation policy, innovate management model for the charity to create an objective and fair environment for social development.
