MPS Program
Guided by the state strategy of common prosperity, the "third distribution" centered on philanthropy is being incorporated into the construction of national basic systems. The trends of business for good, technology for good, and wealth for good are accelerating the transformation of "philanthropy for all" into the mainstream.

Whether you are determined to improve society, explore paths of doing good, or to seek professional breakthroughs and growth, the MPS Philanthropy Leadership Program is your ideal choice. It is a lifelong learning platform gathering cross-border resources. Through academy-style holistic education, we aim to build a community of fellows that benefits from the exchange of knowledge and fosters friendship and mutual support.

Since 2013, the MPS Program has trained a total of 349 fellows, including founders and core members of Chinese nonprofits, government officials, corporate executives, and social enterprise leaders. They have become the key figures of China's philanthropic sector! The MPS program conducts holistic education through three aspects: "Craftsmanship Spirit" (Mastering), "Humanistic Literacy" (Philosophy) and "Scientific Attitudes" (Science), focusing on finding and cultivating social changemakers who can systematically identify and solve social problems.
