En este episodio conversamos con Maria Chalaux, del equipo de Fundació Nous Cims en Barcelona, sobre impacto social, responsabilidad y el papel de las fundaciones en la transformación de las desigualdades estructurales.A partir de su experiencia en el ámbito de la filantropía y la innovación social, Maria reflexiona sobre cómo el poder, la financiación y la toma de decisiones condicionan lo que se considera impacto y lo que queda fuera de foco.Exploramos juntas las tensiones entre la medición del impacto y los procesos de cambio a largo plazo, la importancia de los enfoques ecosistémicos y la necesidad de ir más allá de soluciones tecnocráticas hacia prácticas relacionales, éticas y situadas.***English*****In this episode, we speak with Maria Chalaux, who works at Fundació Nous Cims in Barcelona, about social impact, responsibility, and the role of foundations in addressing structural inequalities.Starting from her experience within philanthropy and social innovation ecosystems, Maria reflects on how power, funding, and decision-making shape what is possible, and what remains invisible  in social and international cooperation.Together, we explore the tensions between impact measurement and long-term transformation, the importance of ecosystem approaches, and the need to move beyond technocratic solutions toward relational, ethical, and context-aware practices.Resursos// ResourcesEbrahim, A. & Rangan, V.
