Five things we learned from feminists about giving

By Renata Saavedra and Vanessa Lucena

We were lucky enough to get to know the world of philanthropy from a very special point of view: the women's fund ecosystem. Women's funds are organizations that mobilize and donate resources to groups of women, girls and trans people around the world, providing them with financial and technical resources and strengthening networks to realize their vision of social justice. More than 40 of them come together in Prospera, a powerful global network.

Donating Day and the Movement for a Culture of Donation

By Joana Mortari

Member of the Coordination Committee. of the Movement for a Culture of Donation and Director of the Acorde Association

In the midst of its formation, in 2011, the Movement for a Culture of Giving – then a group of five instigated to strengthen giving in Brazil – we missed talking to people 'out there' and collecting data about Brazilian giving. The previous year, a small campaign had taken place at the now-defunct NGO Fair. At the same time, ABCR was in contact with 92nd Y, the American community center where GivingTuesday was born.

This is how Dia de Doar came about, the fifth campaign to join what is now a significant network of more than 150 countries that promote GivingTuesday.
