Abstract：The scientization of public charity has become an important feature in the transformation of contemporary Chinese philanthropy. By analyzing the discourse and practice cases of a “Scientific Philanthropy” movement in the 21st century, we attempt to understand its social construction process in China. We point out that the social construction process of “Scientific Philanthropy” includes establishing discourse representation, establishing theoretical models and establishing exemplary cases. “Scientific Philanthropy” discourse tries to distinguish itself from traditional charity, emphasizing the application of science and technology to empower public charity and solve social problems. The consequence is that the appeal of effectiveness has gradually become the dominant element in the field of public charity. At the same time, it also brings many traps such as problem characterization, method simplification and science centralization. It is a new direction to make philanthropy a mobile concept and make it truly a citizen science that everyone can participate.
