#SshiftThePower

For the first time in Latin America, the #ShiftThePower Summit returns in 2023

Representatives of civil society from around the world will meet in Bogotá, Colombia, between December 5th and 7th to show other ways of doing philanthropy

In 2016, in Johannesburg, South Africa, what Jenny Hodgson, Executive Director of the Global Fund for Community Foundations (GFCF), defined as “one of the most inspiring and dynamic movements for change in philanthropy” was born. The Global Conference on Community Philanthropy, organized by the GFCF, brought together more than 400 people from 70 countries. The message we wanted to convey was clear: we need to face and review the logic of power that governs the sector of philanthropy and international humanitarian aid and bring communities to the center of the debate. From this meeting, the hashtag #ShiftThePower (#SubvertaOPoder, in free translation) was born, which soon went viral on social media and has inspired civil society leaders around the world in debates about the sector and its practices.

September: Transforming Philanthropy Month

A diverse, multifaceted movement aiming to promote greater visibility to the agendas and practices of community and social justice philanthropy in Brazil

By Graciela Hopstein

In September 2022, the Comuá Network organized the Philanthropy, Social Justice, Civil Society and Democracy Seminar to celebrate its 10th anniversary. Around it, the Network managed to mobilize 220 participants, who attended the seminar in São Paulo during the two days of debates, 360 people online, 110 organizations, 50 speakers, in addition to 35 institutional supporters and 6 funders who sponsored the event directly.

During those 21 hours of activities, Comuá, its members and partners debated and reflected on a variety of topics, such as decolonizing philanthropy, building trust and creating new arrangements, to reach new horizons that ultimately change the existing power dynamics and foster initiatives to build a less inequitable society (in terms of access to rights) and recognize political minorities.

Community Philanthropy as a means to promote socio-environmental justice for LGBTQIA+ people

Celebrating World Environment Day and LGBTQIA+ Pride Month, a reflection on how community philanthropy for socio-environmental justice supports LGBTQIA+ people facing climate change.

By Yasmin Morais and Mica Peres

An estimated 12% of all Brazilians, or about 19 million people, identify themselves as LGBTQIA+, however, contrary to what we might assume when presented with the demographic data of a population, this is not official data produced by a Brazilian government agency such as the IBGE (in English, Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics). This estimate is the result of a study developed by Unesp and USP, published in Nature Scientific Reports, since the IBGE only began collecting data on sexual orientation in Brazil in 2019, and even so, in a highly experimental manner, excluding any aspect of gender identity or sexualities beyond homosexuality and bisexuality.

So, how can we know how many we are, where we are, our level of education? How can we know what affects us, what we need, what rights to claim?
