rdf:langString China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation (CFPA) (Chinese: 中国扶贫基金会) is a nongovernmental charitable organization in Beijing, China, registered under the Chinese Ministry of Civil Affairs in 1989 and professionally supervised by the State Council Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development. In 2017, CFPA raised poverty alleviation funds and materials totaling RMB 580 million (about US$91 million) to deliver aid and assistance in over 4.2 million individual cases for impoverished persons and disaster victims. To date CFPA has raised total funds and materials worth RMB 34 billion (est. USD 5.7 billion) and delivered aid and assistance in 33 million individual cases. CFPA's first international project was realized in the wake of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami when the organization raised funds for affected disaster victims. Since then CFPA has expanded overseas to help those in need across the world, and is actively campaigning for more Chinese CSOs to launch humanitarian projects abroad while advocating for favorable government policies facilitating overseas operations. As of 2017, CFPA has undertaken work in 19 countries outside China and has long term projects in 5 countries; Myanmar, Nepal, Ethiopia, Uganda and Sudan, with registered offices in Nepal and Myanmar.
