(1)Users and Main Functions of the System
The DAF Account Service System (hereinafter the ‘System’), as the main business management system of the Charity, is mainly open to relevant personnel and organizations, such as, the internal management staff of the Charity, Strategic Cooperation Partners, recommended qualified donors, third-party donors, donor qualification examiners, charitable account holders, charitable account advisors, charitable account reviewers, charitable account supervisors, philanthropic expert consultants and qualified grantees. The System enables multiple parties to exchange information and provides them with management services related to contribution, investment, granting and post-grant supervision, in order to facilitate the arrangement and management of the charitable activities through different accounts and processes in a systematic way.
(2)Basic Structure of the System
The System adopts a separate management method and divides various users into different modules in accordance with their different roles. The System currently consists of four sub-systems, which are the DAF relevant parties of charitable accounts login system, the DAF Strategic Cooperation Partners registration and login system, the DAF qualified grantees registration and login system and the DAF operation management system.
① DAF Relevant Parties of Charitable Accounts Login System
The DAF relevant parties of charitable accounts login system mainly serves the different parties of charitable accounts, namely, charitable account holders (qualified donors), charitable account advisors, charitable account reviewers, and third-party donors (excluding charitable account supervisors), allowing them to conduct charitable activities related to the opening of charitable accounts, contributing, investing, granting and transferring of charitable assets. In order to ensure the particularized sources of the donors and to meet the requirements set by the supervisory authorities on fundraising by charities without the public fundraising qualification, the signup page is not publicly available on the Charity’s official website. Potential donors shall be recommended by members of the Strategic Development Advisory Committee (philanthropic expert consultants and Strategic Cooperation Partners of the Charity) or the staff of the Charity, obtain the qualification as qualified donors, fill in exclusive registration codes, confirm their qualification online, and start to open charitable accounts.

The DAF Strategic Cooperation Partners registration and login system mainly serves Strategic Cooperation Partners that have established a strategic cooperation relationship in the field of philanthropy with the Charity by signing the Standard Version of the Strategic Cooperation Agreement, including but not limited to investment management organizations, non-profit organizations and other qualified organizations. In this registration and login system, Strategic Cooperation Partners may appoint recommenders (donor qualification examiners, charitable account supervisors, and philanthropic expert consultants may serve as their qualified recommenders) to issue recommendations for their signup. After obtaining the qualification to sign agreements with the Charity, Strategic Cooperation Partners may initiate the process of signing the Standard Version of the Strategic Cooperation Agreement of the China DAF (Donor Advised Fund) Charity.
③ DAF Qualified Grantees Registration and Login System
The DAF qualified grantees registration and login system mainly serves grantees that have passed the qualification vetting. Potential grantees may select and determine a specific third-party organization from the database of qualified grantees’ assessment institutions disclosed on the official website of the Charity to conduct the qualification vetting, after which it needs to select and determine a specific practicing-lawyer philanthropic expert consultant to conduct review, in order to obtain the qualification as qualified grantees. After the Charity grants the qualification to qualified grantees, the charitable account advisors may advise the making of grants to those qualified grantees.

The DAF operation management system mainly serves the internal management staff of the Charity and other personnel that have approval authority.
