In recent years，the central government pays high attention to the development of the civil society organizations（CSOs）. The Third Plenum of the 18th CPC Central Committee decided to take the promotion of the modernization of the national governance systems and capacity as the overall goal of comprehensively deepening reform，and the stimulation of the vitality of CSOs as an important aspect of the innovation of social governance system. To achieve these goals，many policies and measures which aim to promote the cultivation of CSOs sprang up，and the CSOs are now facing the important strategic development opportunities. This paper analyzes the current development situation of CSOs in China，combs the measures taken by the government and society for CSOs’ cultivation，and points out that CSOs in China has developed rapidly in recent years. The economic and social value which they create has increased continuously and the qualities of CSOs have been improved considerably. CSOs are playing more and more roles and gradually forming the its industrial ecological chain. However，there are still a number of problems such as that the per capita amount of CSOs is not high and overall，the value which they create is low. Moreover，CSOs’ capacity of corporate governance still needs to be improved and the position of CSOs in social governance has not yet been prominent. Additionally，the industrial chain is still fragile. All the problems are attributed to the unclear functions of both government and CSOs，the lack of supports from government，and the imperfect mechanism of management. To solve the problems，innovations are made in the related areas and experiences are accumulated. Based on the experiences and aiming at the realization of the modernization of national governance capacity，this paper puts forward some policy suggestions so as to help accelerate the development of CSOs.
