dc.description.abstract | The object of my last year’s presentation were communication (ethical, integration, political)
threats posed by a foundation seen as an extension to a company in its traditional sense. I came to
the conclusion that an automatic transfer of social trust capital to the parent company (in certain,
specified by me, contexts) causes the foundation to betray its mission. It is the company that becomes
the main beneficiary of mutual aid activities.
This year, the paper addresses the following three issues. Firstly, I intend to show the symbolic
pressure exerted on both consumers and producers, which is made possible by the ‘labeling’ of products
of ‘socially sensitive’ companies. There would be no point questioning the fact of shaping social
attitudes if it weren’t for an ambiguous position of the co-ordinator of the enterprise, who becomes vested
with the rights of a certification authority.
Another question under consideration is the transformation of a foundation into a quasi-company.
A third-sector organization adds business activity to the goals specified in its by-laws. It results
in taking on highly-skilled professionals who have nothing to do with charitable activity of a third
sector organization.
Finally, there is a danger of a foundation’s approximation to a second-sector organization.
A foundation may be financed by a public administration body. This may lead to the division of
the final product of a foundation between the beneficiaries and the body which sponsors its operation
using a ‘lump sum’ payment.
Whichever the problem, the key aspect seems societal control over mutual aid activities. Its lack
results in an abuse of power and the diminished trust of the manipulated society in effective cooperation. | pl_PL |
