In China's higher education system, public universities play a dominant role, primarily relying on government financial allocations. With the expansion of higher education and the rising costs of operation, diversifying funding sources has become a significant challenge for universities amid the current context of financial constraints. This article reviews the existing fundraising channels in Chinese universities, conducts an in-depth analysis of the opportunities and challenges in diversified fundraising, and provides relevant recommendations to promote the sustainable development of higher education in China.
