According to the president of the Rede Filantropia, Marcio Zeppelini, it is necessary to promote good not only with good intention, but with professionalism so that the projects are long-term. “FIFE’s proposal is to offer a lot of knowledge in several segments, focusing on strategic management for Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), which are popularly known as NGOs. We want to strengthen our public and give inputs so that the projects grow more and more”, he explains.
For the executive director of the Rede FIlantropia, Thais Iannarelli, it is necessary to know how to distinguish philanthropy from charity so that the Third Sector is increasingly strengthened. “Charity is a human act that is very welcome in social projects. Philanthropy, however, goes much further. Philanthropy is thinking strategically about how to eradicate social vulnerability, in the long term, with seriousness, resources and professionals. It is doing good, but in a good way”, he adds.
