Important Notice from OCEF: Temporary Suspension of Fundraising Activities
Dear Donors of the OCEF:
Recently, the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Administration of Activities of Overseas Nongovernmental Organizations in the Mainland of China was promulgated and implemented, which requires any NGO based outside of Mainland China to register with a government agency in order to operate within the jurisdiction of that agency. Despite our best effort, the registration process has proven to be difficult in many provinces. As a result, we are obliged to temporarily suspend all school aid programs in Mainland China except for Sichuan Province and Guangxi autonomous region.
We are doing our best to resume our operations in as many provinces as possible by submitting documents for temporary activities, as mandated by the Law. Meanwhile, we are also pushing forward registration efforts in Beijing, which would enable us to operate nationwide. Thanks to the generous support from you and the other donors, we currently have a balance of approximately $1.7 million in our bank account, a historic high and well exceeding our budget of $0.98 million for this year. At the moment, however, we are unable to continue our school aid programs at the usual scale. After careful consideration by the Board of Directors, we have decided to temporarily suspend all fundraising activities and close the donation portals on the OCEF website. It is a decision to be responsible for the donations made by the donors and to avoid potential risks to the funds. If you can help us complete the registration process in Beijing, or if you have any questions, please contact us via e-mail at [email protected]. We will update you immediately when our school aid programs can resume in the other provinces, and we believe that day will come very soon!
Your understanding, trust and support are greatly appreciated!
1. 中国经过多年的发展，经济实力雄厚，真的没有那么需要海外捐款了（和允许海外收养孤儿的政策收缩类似）
2. OCEF的组织非常成熟，可以转型，就用现在的人员
3. 随着中美之间冲突的深化，华裔美国人的平权运动会越来越重要（可以参考二战日裔美国人的情况）
4. 这样的政治组织，希望不是按照美国党派来划分的，而是按照黑人平权组织那样，不分党派，吸引独立选民中间选民。

关于暂停募捐活动的重要通知
尊敬的海外中国教育基金会的捐款人朋友：
您好！《中华人民共和国境外非政府组织境内活动管理法》近期已在中国大陆颁布和实施，该法律规定境外NGO必须先注册，再在注册地进行相关活动。目前，虽然我们百般努力，但OCEF在许多省份的注册工作并不十分顺利，必须暂停除四川，广西外所有地区全部的助学活动。
我们正在争取在尽量多的省份通过临时备案的方式恢复助学项目的运行，并积极推进在北京的注册工作，争取可以取得覆盖全国的运行资格。由于您和其他所有捐款人的慷慨支持，目前OCEF银行账户的收支余额约170万美元，处于历史高位，超过今年98万美元的支出预算较多，但暂时无法继续大规模用于助学。因此，经过理事会慎重讨论，本着向所有捐款人的助学捐款负责、降低善款风险的目的，我们决定暂停所有的募捐活动，并撤下OCEF官方网站上所有的捐款方式。如果您可以帮助我们在北京推进注册工作，或者您有其它疑问，欢迎您与我们联系，发送电子邮件至[email protected]。非常感谢！当OCEF可以恢复在国内更多省份的助学活动时，我们会第一时间给您报告好消息。我们相信这一天不会太久。
谢谢您的理解、信任和支持！
