A couple of months ago I talked about online donations in China, a field that is developing rapidly but remains an option only for registered foundations, not ordinary NGOs.
Raising funds for work in China by targetting donors in other countries, on the other hand, has no such barriers. Seeking online donations could be as simple as using a bank account outside China to register for PayPal, and putting a PayPal link on your organization's web page. However, do not expect this to attract a great number of donations unless you already have a lot of visitors to your website.
Another option is to promote your organization or your project through one of the many online philanthropy websites that have appeared in recent years. For example, GlobalGiving currently features 12 projects in China. NGOs registered in China are eligible to nominate themselves for this website, after which they will go through stringent due diligence checks.
A similar website is UniversalGiving, which currently features 44 different projects or gift packages in China. An important difference, however, is that this website partners with U.S. based nonprofit organizations who perform work in other countries.
