The most recognized definition of Investment is, “the action or process of investing money for profit or material result.” For example, this would be like giving an entrepreneur a certain amount of money to help get their business started. Once the business starts making money, the money would usually be returned to you with a slight increase.
A less know definition of Investment is, “an act of devoting time, effort, or energy to a particular undertaking with the expectation of a worthwhile result.” For example, this is like going to a food bank for an hour or so to stock shelves with food, help people coming in to “shop” for food and organizing other donations that were received. In this scenario, you don’t get anything monetary back for your “investment”. Most of the time you get paid or receive some other type of compensation, depending on the activity and type of investment.
