German term or phrase: Stiftungsgeschäft
This term crops up in a brief history of a Swiss charitable organization:
"Herr Dingsbums hat im Jahr 2009 die Verantwortung für das aktive **Stiftungsgeschäft** der Bla Bla Stiftung übernommen und leitet als deren Präsident den Stiftungsrat".

If anyone can help with the expression in context (i.e."aktive Stiftungsgeschäft") I'd be very grateful.
