For public welfare organizations with limited resources, the application of a network platform and network marketing strategy has injected new development impetus into public welfare organizations and transmitted many new public welfare ideas. Therefore, this study explored the mechanism of micro public welfare activities in the process of online marketing.
In this paper, through the establishment of a model, the analysis of some successful cases built a theoretical model of micro public welfare project network marketing and put forward the relevant assumptions. The reliability and validity of the sample data were analyzed by appropriate software, the intermediary effect, the regulatory effect test, and the regulatory effects were verified. Based on theoretical analysis and the empirical test, a series of conclusions were drawn. According to the empirical analysis, the paper analyzed the deficiencies and defects of Internet micro public welfare. Then summarized the significant trends of China's micro public welfare projects in carrying out online marketing activities, hoping to provide some reference suggestions for future online marketing activities of micro public welfare projects and realize the rational, healthy, and sustainable development of China’s public welfare undertakings.
