Anything can happen and eveyone can make a dieence.
Eveyone can innovate. Eveyone can give. Uman Foundation
ill make a dieence by eectively connecting these
ealities: ceative entepeneus, moden philanthopy
o “giving back to society”, and social entepeneus.
Te Uman Foundation connects these to olds: on the one hand the
people ho undestand the impotance o giving, and on the othe, the ondeu l poe o the innovatos , ceative entepeneus and social
entepeneus. Tese uneasonable people (as Pamela Hatington calls the
social entepeneus in he book “Te Poe o Uneasonable People”) ae
able to tansom impossible challenges into tangible ealities and e xpeiment
ne ays to ceate ealth. By combining (i) the ability to innovate ith
the poe o giving, though a system capable o enhancing innovation
and entepeneuial isk, and (ii) a poeul mechanism o oganized
philanthopy, poound change can occu.

expeience o those ho, in developing counties, have aleady made concete
innovative plans to oste “human development” as dened by Amatya Sen.

and joins eots ith those o lage oganizations, such as the United Nations o
the wold Bank hich conscious o past mistakes, ae inceasingly developing
collaboative pojects in pivate public patneships. At the intenational level,
thee ae impotant oundations, copoations and enlightened individualinnovatos ho have undestood the impotance o investing in social entepise,
hich combines social impact and economic sustainability, ceating a sot o
“Philanthocapitalism”.
In Italy, philanthopy has a dieent histoy . Many people, oganizations,
eligious and secula institutions, and businesses act geneously and ith a
commendable eot. And yet the nancial esouces made available ae not
alays used eectively. we believe that the impact o thei actions could incease
by making use o stategies and eective models o oganized philanthopy
aleady established elsehee. Italy has alays expessed a stong commitment
to geneosity, but has not yet developed an intenational ole in the ecosystem
o “philanthocapitalism”. we believe this is the moment o ou county to be
pesent on the stage o moden and global philanthopy. Te Uman Foundation
is the tool to link geat Italian philanthopy and intenational donos , pivate and
institutional, in ode to bette oganize and steamline some o these impotantcontibutions. Tis can only happen by binging poessional skills into the eld
o philanthopy, along the lines o intenational standads. Uman aggegates, in
the om o an Advisoy Boad, some o the most inuential gues in the eld o
philanthopy o sustanable development oldide. Te Advisoy Boad, helps
the Foundation plan its activities and select those global pojects ith the highest
impact, innovativeness, ability to sel-sustain, and those most likely to leveage
the capital om othe eputable institutions.
Uman suppots the ceative poe o Giving, by backing pojects that can tun
the impossible into the possible and by moving in and out o the dimension o the
maket economy. we ant to suppot social innovatos and entepeneus ho
expess on a daily basis thei condence in the utue though thei ceativity.Te Uman Foundation encouages ne paths to human development, leveaging
those ho popose bold and ambitious initiatives to impove the quality o
lives. Uman looks pimaily to the Aican counties, tuning to the innovatos
ho pioneeed the use o ne technologies, ne models o coopeation and o
economic development. we ant to invest in them. Te stength o these people
and these companies epesent the populsive enegy that ceates a vituous cicle,
beteen the geneosity o the giving and the innovation in edistibuting. we
live in the time o the digital and envionmental evolution, and also in the
time o social and entepise innovation hee stuctued philanthopy has an
equally amazing tansomation poe. Italy should not emain on the sidelines
o these tansomations. Te Uman Foundation suppots human development
though ne instuments that make ventue philanthopy a bidge beteen
lage nancial esouces - institutions, companies and amily ofces - and big
achievable deams.
In the old, especially in the so-called Anglo-Saxon “ich west”, geat
philanthopists such as Gates, Skoll, and many othes, ae at the oeont,
utilizing thei ealth, in ecognizing and encouaging economic, social,
cultual and spiitual change. Oten, though it is no coincidence, these geat
