This article aims to present the initiative related to the “Month of Philanthropy that Transforms”, carried out by Redes da Maré in partnership with Rede Comuá. Throughout September, we planned and organized training in Political Incidence aimed at residents of the group of 16 Maré favelas, located in the north of Rio de Janeiro. For us, thinking about philanthropic actions that are capable of impacting in the medium and long term the history of inequalities that we experience in the group of Maré favelas is urgent and structuring for the change we want in the world.

By Graciela Hopstein

In September 2022, the Comuá Network organized the Philanthropy, Social Justice, Civil Society and Democracy Seminar to celebrate its 10th anniversary. Around it, the Network managed to mobilize 220 participants, who attended the seminar in São Paulo during the two days of debates, 360 people online, 110 organizations, 50 speakers, in addition to 35 institutional supporters and 6 funders who sponsored the event directly.

During those 21 hours of activities, Comuá, its members and partners debated and reflected on a variety of topics, such as decolonizing philanthropy, building trust and creating new arrangements, to reach new horizons that ultimately change the existing power dynamics and foster initiatives to build a less inequitable society (in terms of access to rights) and recognize political minorities.
