project finalists selected for 2007

BrazilFoundation would like to thank all of the 975 organizations that applied during our selection process in 2007. Coming from throughout Brazil, the project proposals were a testament to the strong sense of community that exists in the country and to the creative ways in which it is put into practice.

Project proposals that were mailed after the deadline, deviated from the standard guidelines, or lacked documentation were catalogued, but have not been entered into the final selection process.

Below is the list of 54 finalists that will soon receive a visit from a BrazilFoundation representative. On July 20, 2007 BrazilFoundation’s final list of projects to receive funding will be announced.
