Red base will reduce its personal donations significantly.

Although there were still a number of personal donations at the peak of the Jocie Guo incident, the serious illness relief fund, which was the main body of public donations, was still affected. Liu Xuanguo, secretary-general of the Red Cross Foundation of China, said that the impact of the angel fund was particularly prominent, and personal donations decreased significantly in August. Once the public donations drop, the children who are waiting for help will eventually be affected.

According to the monthly statistics of China Red foundation from June to August 19th, the red base donation income was 12 million 500 thousand yuan, 12 million 700 thousand yuan and 420 thousand yuan respectively. Compared with the monthly donation income in 1-5 months of this year, the donation income in 6 and July was flat, and the income in early 8 was reduced. Among them, the funds for serious illness assistance, such as cherub fund, angel sunshine fund, sweet angel fund and corn love fund, all decreased significantly in August. The contribution of the angel fund in from August 1st to 19th was only 7000 yuan, while in the previous 7 months, the monthly contribution of the angel fund exceeded 100 thousand yuan.

Liu Xuanguo said that more than 80% of the donations from Hongji will come from partners and enterprises, which is not very influential.

"The reduction in public donations will definitely reduce the number of children with leukemia that we can help." Liu Xuanguo pointed out that part of the money from the angel fund comes from the public donations. The red base of China will raise about $3 million every year. There are still more than 2000 children waiting for queuing. Among them, nearly 3 months (May 19th -8 19) will help 922 people. With a subsidy of 30 thousand yuan per person, the need for relief funds is about 60000000 yuan, and there is still a huge gap in funding. "Some of these children have to wait for the public to raise funds, and most of them can only be funded after the next year's lottery is allocated."

Not only that, he said, but in 6 and July, the media and the public questioned a lot of energy.

Poverty alleviation foundation Street attracts cold shoulder

In July, when the "Jocie Guo incident" was heated, the China foundation for poverty alleviation organized hundreds of university volunteers in Guangzhou to carry out the "poverty alleviation month donation" campaign in the streets.

The "poverty alleviation month donation" is a public welfare project launched by the China Poverty Alleviation foundation and the Bank of China in the whole country. It helps the poor and vulnerable groups get rid of poverty and become rich through active, continuous and small participation in public welfare charities.

In the streets and alleys of Guangzhou, volunteers from 20 bank outlets carry on to the citizens of the past. ask for contributions Publicity and introduction of "charity month donation" charity project. In the process of publicity, volunteers encountered countless indifference, puzzled and questioned, and even some citizens directly asked whether Jocie Guo had any relationship with the monthly donation.

Volunteer Mo Xiaonan said, in less than a month's publicity, sometimes a day down, not a success. The "Jocie Guo incident" has become the main reason why people refuse to volunteer. Some people say, "I would rather donate to an international foundation without knowing what to do, or donate to some foundations in China, even if there are so-called invoices."

He will lose millions of relief funds.

Due to the "Jocie Guo incident", the Chinese children's charity relief fund, which has been established for less than two years, has significantly affected the social contributions of the public foundation. Zhang Min, director of his office, said that the overall situation of social donations was relatively good this year. However, the number of donation donations in the past two months was less than half of that before the "Jocie Guo incident". Previously, through the post office, banks, Alipay, Internet banking, every day can receive about 30 donations, currently less than 10 pens per day, a single digit.

Zhang Min introduced that some donors would avoid donations from the foundation and help donors directly through their information. Zhang Min estimated that about about 1000000 of the aid money was "lost" from the foundation. The foundation only played the role of referee, and could not supervise the donation. "Obviously, the donors do not trust us and are more willing to direct the money to the help people."
