Strategic Support Program

What happens when we see people within the organization?

Last year Baixada participated in the Comuá Network Capacity Building program. We could use many words to say what this program represents for our organization, but the one that makes the most sense is to see. It is a word that cannot walk alone, see and understand, see and invest, see and strengthen. Guimarães Rosa says that the flow of life wraps everything up and suddenly no more than suddenly in our field we are unwrapping processes and wrapping up people, organizations start to be bigger than the people who build them in their daily toil. Just as we prioritize the organization's electricity bill, we must prioritize people's energy. In this case it's not about keeping the power running with a payment to someone who provides the electricity, it's about building solidarity, recognition, acceptance and opportunity.

Communicating social justice philanthropy: the power of networking

By Camila Guedes

Social justice philanthropy contributes to generating transformation by supporting civil society organizations and social movements in their struggles and promoting access to rights, a fundamental point for the consolidation of democracy.

Communicating these arrangements and translating their potential results to the public is a challenge that brings permanent reflection to the Philanthropy Network for Social Justice (RFJS), especially with regard to two issues: promoting influence on the philanthropic ecosystem to expand resources for these organizations and movements and demonstrate the power that these groups have to promote transformation in their territories and causes.

Philanthropy Network and Funds continue the collective communication strategy

Communication has always been one of the greatest challenges for civil society organizations that work with human rights and socio-environmental justice. In addition to the content itself, the ways in which this content is produced and delivered to target audiences are also points of permanent reflection.

In 2021, the Philanthropy Network for Social Justice (RFJS) launched the publication “Challenges in communicating community philanthropy and social justice”. The material brings together a series of texts produced from collective interviews, carried out with communicators from the RFJS Member Funds, promoted with the aim of mapping and analyzing the challenges for this communication and to give visibility to the strategies developed.
