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

By Marcelle Decote

You may have already heard or read something about the technological phenomenon of the moment: the existence of what we call the Metaverse. 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.

Rede Comuá launches the Saberes Program to encourage the production of knowledge

The initiative offers grants of 50 thousand reais for the systematization of knowledge produced by social leaders and specialists who work in the fields of community philanthropy and social justice.

By Luisa Hernandez and Jonathas Azevedo

In 2022, the Network completed ten years of existence, strengthening itself as a political subject that impacts the Brazilian philanthropic ecosystem to strengthen civil society and struggles for rights. In this mission, it has become essential to develop initiatives that amplify community voices and that recognize, in the knowledge and experiences of donation practices and grassroots articulation, the necessary inputs for the creation of narratives that enhance the Network's influence in the field.

Baixada Institute

Investing in people who change realities

Author Diane Pereira Sousa

“Baixada Maranhense” is a region to the north of the State of Maranhão. It is an important territory for the State's development structures.

Anyone who is born or who lives in this region is called a “Baixadeiro”. This form of identification started in 2003, with the movement known as “CIP Young Citizen”, an integrated series of development projects promoted by “Formacao – Centro de Apoio à Educação Básica” in 10 cities (Arari, Cajari, Penalva, Matinha, Olinda Nova, São João Batista, São Vicente Ferrer, São Bento, Palmeirândia, Peri Mirim).

Retaining a record number of donors: a challenge that ICOM faced in 2020

By Amanda Antunes Bueno

In March 2020, the new coronavirus pandemic was declared and the first cases were registered in Santa Catarina. That same month, the team from the Grande Florianópolis Community Institute (ICOM) met to decide what they would do to respond to the economic and social crises resulting from the pandemic. The first strategy was the Coronavirus Emergency Support Line, created to guarantee decent and sufficient food and hygiene and cleaning items for socially vulnerable people affected by the pandemic, through the mobilization and transfer of direct resources to organized civil society initiatives. In April, within the Support Line, the first Community Bank of Santa Catarina also appears. With it, families receive resources in the form of social currencies and have the autonomy to buy what they need most in stores in their peripheral communities.
