Diálogo: Philanthropy, culture of giving and my community

By Cléber Rodrigues

I was walking home the other day and a neighbor walking down the street waved at me and said:

— Hey my dear, good morning. I saw some photos of you on Instagram. You were just like the boss, huh! But I didn't understand anything that was written in the caption.

I gave him a smile, joked with the kid who was attentively listening to his father, and spoke.

— Hey my friend, that was the Philanthropy Network for Social Justice seminar…

He interrupted my sentence and with a questioning face said:

— Filamp… What?

Perceptions about Philanthropy

By Mariana de Assis

Philanthropy, Social Justice, Decolonial Philanthropy, Human Rights, Democracy. The 10-year Seminar of the Philanthropy Network for Social Justice – now titled Rede Comuá – immersed us in these themes and, in two days, brought together in a single environment the references of the national and international philanthropic system. I was there.

It's funny to note that when I started my professional work in the social field years ago, the notion of philanthropy was welfare, charity. The evolution in conversations, and cultural political moments, provoke welcome questions and reflections on the reframing of the concept.

Perceptions on philanthropy

Philanthropy, Social Justice, Decolonial Philanthropy, Human Rights, Democracy…

The 10th Anniversary Seminar of the Brazilian Philanthropy Network for Social Justice – now Comuá Network – immersed us in these themes and, in two days, brought together in a single environment the references of the national and international philanthropic system. I was there.

It's funny to observe that when I started my professional career in the social field years ago, the notion of philanthropy was linked to assistentialism, charity. The evolution in conversations, and the cultural political moments, provoke questions and reflections on the re-signification of the concept that are welcome.

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.
