GIFE executes its activities according to two work guidelines:
Advocacy
Since its creation, one of GIFE's top priorities has been to contribute to the expansion and strengthening of a non-state owned public sphere, composed of privately held enterprises, foundations and institutes, committed and willing to invest private funds for public purposes.
Within this line of business, GIFE's primary objective is to restructure the third sector's legal framework, so as to offer a more appropriate legal, fiscal and tax environment for all non profit organizations.
GIFE pursues this objective, for it believes that the third sector's contribution towards overcoming social inequalities in the country could be significantly accelerated through more favorable legislation. In addition to enlarging the impact of social actions, an improvement in the existing legal scenario would allow for the participation of new private social investors.
Services
The services offered by GIFE to private social investors contribute to improve and disseminate concepts and practices regarding the use of private funds for developing social projects.
