Philanthropy has cast off ‘charity’ as its organizing principle and adopted ‘social investment’. This is defined by Fernando Rossetti, CEO of GIFE, as ‘the voluntary giving of private resources in a planned, monitored, and systematic manner for social, cultural and environmental projects of public interest’.
