As a community of prominent leaders in an broad range of career fields, the Committee of 100 is well-positioned to stand as the face of ethnic Chinese philanthropy in the United States and China. In recognition of this unique opportunity, the Committee has established a new initiative, tentatively titled “Bridge-building Through Philanthropy”. This program aims to eliminate social problems in the United States and China by channeling the capabilities of C100 members and partner organizations toward productive, culturally impactful social ventures.
