Em Novembro de 2023, o Grupo de Institutos, Fundações e Empresas (GIFE) lançou uma nova edição do Censo GIFE, realizado a cada dois anos com sua base de associados. Junto a outros levantamentos, como o do BISC, o Censo é uma pesquisa de referência no campo, que permite traçar um panorama do investimento social privado (ISP) no Brasil.
A Indonesia for Humanity (IKa) foi criada para apoiar os movimentos pró-democracia e os sobreviventes de violações aos direitos humanos. A organização foi criada por ativistas para apoiar outros ativistas com pequenos subsídios. Desde meados da década de 1990 até o início da década de 2000, dependíamos principalmente dos doadores. Mas quando a Indonésia começou a se democratizar, muitas agências doadoras que nos tinham financiado começaram também a abrir seus próprios escritórios na Indonésia e a IKa perdeu grande parte do seu financiamento. Em 2010, iniciamos uma nova jornada, fazendo experiências com a angariação local de fundos e a mobilização de recursos locais. Com o tempo, aprendemos que dinheiro não é o único recurso; diversos elementos intangíveis, como as redes que contribuíram para a evolução da IKa, também são recursos.
In October this year, Rede Comuá participated in the Wings Forum in Nairobi, Kenya, a triennial event that brings together philanthropy networks from around the world to reflect on how to improve and make philanthropy more transformative. The event was attended by a wide range of actors in this field, from corporate philanthropy to community-based philanthropy, international, regional and local organizations.

Starting a conversation, or rather, continuing an old conversation that started when I chose the Pedagogy course. This happened in 2006 and during my undergraduate studies what enchanted me most was popular education, which I call human education.
Philanthropy is presented as a strategy that turns the idea of donations into a notion of social investment capable of driving transformative actions for communities and groups in vulnerable situations. Despite its recent contributions to democracy, philanthropy is permeated with colonial aspects in terms of the distribution of resources around the world, which poses challenges to the beneficiaries. This is what we understand from the article “Is the Decolonization of Philanthropy Moving Forward?”, written by Allyne Andrade e Silva and Graciela Hopstein, for Comuá Network.
FunBEA (Brazilian Environmental Education Fund), in 2022, launched the donation campaign “How much is it worth?”, with the intention of supporting three socio-environmental collectives that work with community-based actions, environmental education, culture and art on the Coast North of São Paulo.
At the beginning of 2022, FunBEA – Brazilian Environmental Education Fund began planning and structuring the donation campaign “How much is it worth?”, which was launched to the public in July of the same year. The objective of the campaign was to support three socio-environmental movements that work with community-based actions, environmental education, culture and art on the North Coast of São Paulo, recognizing the work of these collectives for the conservation of the Atlantic Forest and popular culture.
The giving circle can be a strategy to strengthen community and social justice philanthropy, by bringing together donors and causes/organizations to be supported in a more horizontal and dialogical way.
