It was in the air. Stefano Zamagni I had anticipated when I asked him to join the jury of Italian Fundraising Award 2012, new awards established by the Fundraising Festival to celebrate the fundraiser, the volunteer, the donor of the year. He said: "I would be glad, but possibly in May there will be the Agency." Well, my dear professor, he was right. No one as she has done so much for the Third Sector, and ran (with great difficulties, due to lack of budget and lack of power), the Agency also. Under his leadership has done something: a magazine, a series of important documents, reports and many reports and above all a tireless voice, which has made thousands of miles to promote the culture of the nonprofit. Under the previous direction, was essentially immobile, obviously inexperience.
But the problem is that when an institution does not have a budget, and above all has the power to give advice only "voluntary and not binding" on the problems non-profit organization ... there is' little to do. Counts for nothing. And then, except why "educational" (Zamagni and this was a sample), will remain little.
The Fornero (Minister) rightly says: "O here, the changes in the Authority - and today you can not - or keep it alive, with no power and no budget, no use. Better to close. " Frankly, how can you blame her? Too bad. Experience began with so much hope and unfortunately ended so inglorious. The Italian third sector has a great need to "watch dog", ie bodies of those "watchdogs" as the Americans say that in an independent and efficient system of producing the required certification of the results of the nonprofit that lacks so much in Italy.
