Through the process of public service, NPOs deeply idenfity the need of their serving objects. NPOs also affect general public by initiating issues, thus making people recognize and support their principles. NPOs make government to consider minority’s right and public interest while making decision, budgeting, and legislating. Therefore, the problems of social unfairness and irrationality, and unbalanced system can be reformed. 　 　　Through the issue initiating of Mother Ke (Ke Tsai Yu-Xion), Legislative Yuan passed the “Act of Car Liability Insurance” in 1996. After John Tung Foundation had initiated non-smoking activity over a long period of time, the ”Act of Preventing the damage of Smoking” was finally passed by Legislative Yuan in 1997. Even Judy Williams, an American who integrated over 1300 NGOs and NPOs in 60 countries, initiated the “Global Anti-Landmine Treaty” in 1997 at Ottawa, Canada. The treaty was signed by 122 countries to stop landmine manufacturing, storage, and usage. 　 　　This paper selects the Hondao Welfare Foundation as research object to identify strategy of issue initiating, value maintaining, pragmatic operation, and systematic model of NPOs by analyzing their operation model. 　 1.
