Abstract

Using 6,035 charitable organization observations during 2010-2015 from Chinese Foundations Center ( CFC ) database, this study applied quantile regression method to examine how the transparency of CFs is associated with the donation revenues ratios across low and high percentiles. While the OLS result indicates transparency’s highly positive association on average, the findings of the quantile regressions suggest that the positive associations between transparency level and donation revenue ratio are strong among the organizations at the low percentiles of donation revenue ratio distribution, meanwhile, there is no meaningful significant association once the donation revenue ratio has reached the median level among peer organizations. It is recommended that Chinese CFs with donation revenue ratio below the median level should enhance their transparency index to improve their revenue from charitable resources.
