Covid-19 emergency

The world of philanthropy brought together, on the same platform , social investment funds and digital crowdfunding to raise money for various purposes, from social assistance actions to the purchase of equipment for hospitals and research institutions. The initiative, called “Emergency COVID-19 – Coordination of Philanthropy and Social Investment Actions in Response to the Crisis”, was coordinated by GIFE – Group of Institutes, Foundations and Companies. In 2021, GIFE published the book “Philanthropy and social investment in the pandemic: responses, learning and reflections on the future”, by Karen Polaz, which gathers data and analysis on the actions carried out in the previous year. The book can be downloaded for free here .
