This private foundation was endowed by American citizens, Randolph and Susan Yeh, in 1999. Its main aim is to cultivate ‘volunteerism’ – the voluntary giving of time and social service – especially in China and Africa. The founders believe that this can “change many lives for the better, facilitate volunteers in realising self-development and growth, and create more caring and harmonious communities around us.”
In China, New Path has supported activities to mobilise and train groups of volunteers to visit and befriend people living in state retirement homes and other social welfare institutions. It has also backed a scheme of volunteer support for poor families with disabled parents.
In addition, New Path has contributed to the costs of a journal, Volunteering and Welfare, published by a Research Centre for Volunteering and Welfare attached to Beijing University.
Over the last two years, New Path has provided start-up assistance to help new Chinese NGOs to become established. Along with modest funding support, the foundation has offered NGO clients temporary, rent-free loan of office space, including the use of meeting rooms and equipment; capacity building training, and assistance with fundraising.
New Path funding comes from the Yeh family’s original endowment. Part of the original endowment, allocated to activities in China, is managed by the China Youth Development Foundation on behalf of the New Path Foundation.
