Governance & charity: The benefits of corporate governance and charity association

Abstract

The scope of the concept and applicability of corporate governance encompasses the most diverse sectors and aspects of organizational life and society. Some factors—such as social responsibility and the practice of charity—understood as a characteristic of donor behavior, whether individual or organizational, are of great social relevance and have gained attention in recent studies, mainly to cope with high-impact socio-environmental problems. Thus, the benefits of a governance system that encourages charitable activities, generating positive results, and a charity motivated and legitimized by transparent practices, guaranteed by good governance, are becoming more evident each day. Grazielle Rigotti da Silva (FGV EAESP), a master’s student and researcher of the theme, suggests five books.
