Sufficient funds are necessary for the high-quality development of community education.Since modern community education first appeared in China over a century ago，its funding system has gone through three stages，i.e.，the governments gradually becoming the most important funders，relying mainly on private funding with government subsidies as a supplement，and multi-channel fundraising with government funding at its core.As a result，the total amount of funding has increased greatly，which has promoted the development of community education，and the issue of funding balance has also entered the policy agenda.However，there are still some problems，such as the unreliable mechanism of government funding，the inadequate multi-subject funding system，the insufficient government funding and the regional funding disparities.The fact that community education is a quasi-public good is the theoretical origin of the division of the responsibilities of community education funding.It determines that the government should be the main funder and that there should also be other funders.To this end，we should establish a community education funding system with the government as the main funder plus multiple other funders.The most important thing is to make sure that the government fulfill its primary responsibility and to give incentives to the society in funding community education.
