Since we changed our name, this is the main question, especially since we now use the word foundation less frequently.

If we go to the more technical definition, social investment is a business or governmental practice whereby human, material, and financial resources are mobilized for the development of different social initiatives that generate positive impact in the communities and, of course, with the active participation of that community itself.
