Periferias e as soluções climáticas locais para mudar o futuro

No mês da filantropia que transforma, a Rede Comuá lançou na última quinta (12/09) um estudo que tem o propósito de apresentar uma análise abrangente da atuação climática dos fundos comunitários do Brasil no apoio à iniciativas que contribuem para a implementação de Soluções Climáticas Locais (SCLs). Parte importante desta publicação é trazer luz a algo que está no DNA e missão da Iniciativa PIPA: as soluções para os mais complexos problemas sociais e ambientais também repousam sobre as mãos de nossas comunidades e organizações.

Interview: Gelson Henrique, from the PIPA Initiative, talks about the Peripheries and Philanthropy research

By Mônica Ribeiro

A Iniciativa PIPA lançou, em março deste ano, a pesquisa Periferias e Filantropia – as barreiras de acesso aos recursos no Brasil. Realizado com apoio do Instituto Nu, o trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a descentralização dos recursos privados para viabilizar ações e projetos daqueles que estão na ponta.

The material is also part of the project developed by Marcelle Decothé, co-founder and advisor of the PIPA Initiative, as a fellow of the Saberes Program, from Rede Comuá.

The data is representative of a universe of 607 responses from managers who work on the front lines in Brazilian outskirts to guarantee basic rights, quality of life and opportunities in communities.

The research reveals that almost half of the initiatives surveyed, 46%, did not obtain resources to carry out their activities in the last two years. And 31% of them worked for less than R$ 5 thousand a year.

The metaverse of Philanthropy: building transformative realities based on social justice

By Marcelle Decote

This is nothing more than the terminology used to indicate a type of virtual world that tries to replicate reality through digital devices. A reality shaped and controlled by a programmer, who operates through tools other possibilities for different worlds and meanings of good living.

The metaverse of philanthropy: Building transformative realities from social justice

You must have heard or read something about the technological phenomenon of the moment: the Metaverse. It is nothing more than the terminology used to indicate a type of virtual world that tries to replicate reality through digital devices. A reality shaped and controlled by a programmer, who operates through tools other possibilities of different worlds and senses of well-being.

Past September, in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, the Brazilian Philanthropy Network for Social Justice – now Comuá Network, organized an international seminar that shed light on relational debates between democracy, community philanthropy, social justice and human rights, by black people, cis and trans women, by social organizations and community funds that operate significant transformations in communities. It is up to us to emphasize that in that week, our own metaverse of Social Philanthropy was created, where the reality shaped through our theory of change has at its center diversity, territory and an unbureaucratic way of doing things.

Private Social Investment

Why is it urgent to democratize private social investment in Brazil?

By Gelson Henrique, Marcelle Decothé and Raull Santiago

It is nothing new to see that organizations, collectives and movements based in favela and peripheral areas carry out urgent work that has a direct social, political and economic impact on their communities and territories in Brazil. However, the visibility of the challenges that these groups have in accessing private social investment in the country – which operates based on structural inequalities of race, gender and class – is something that drives the imagination of our actions.
