Make a difference to the world with Philanthropy and Charity

Philanthropy and Charity, two similar meaning words but have a world of difference. Charity would mean contributing clothes or money to the Salvation Army whereas philanthropy would be where an organization involves different techniques to bring about social change, aiming at a result which would be double folded and forever.

The foundation – Future Leaders in Philanthropy (FLIP) believes in the cause of Philanthropy charity – they train leaders who would adopt charity as a lifestyle. They aim to instill management skills and investment flair with a heart for community development, in the academically brilliant youngsters of Gibraltar. The youngsters at the age of 16 are trained in working and routines of charitable institutions and how to manage the funds of the institutions wisely, which would include investments and their allocation for various causes.The foundation aims at raising youngsters into leaders who will manage portfolios with an aim to improve the community and to resolve its problems, thereby spreading the feeling of Philanthropy charity.

The participants would participate in a fund raising programme of 40000 pounds and the amount will be doubled by the Bonita Trust (a globally renowned organization in community development) and a practical session will be conducted by the Credit Suisse (global financial service leader) to help each student understand the strategies and challenges in investment management undertaken by charities. This would help to increase the student’s financial judgment in the future.Social Responsibility if inculcated at a young age would bring about a huge difference in tomorrow’s society, so secure your community’s future the FLIP way.
