Identifying and supporting the solutions that will enable a future of equal access, social justice and opportunity for every Brazilian

One good idea holds enormous power. When supported and nurtured, it can become the solution that transforms a community. BrazilFoundation is dedicated to identifying, nurturing and supporting the promising ideas of community leaders across Brazil. When woven together their local solutions will strengthen the fabric of the country.

Years ago, a few friends met in New York City to learn how they could come together constructively to contribute to a better Brazil. The untested idea was to unite a family of support behind the leaders with ideas that will transform Brazil. Though this seed now has deep roots the initial vision remains: identifying and supporting the solutions that will enable a future of equal access, social justice and opportunity for every Brazilian.

Understanding that the greatest rewards often come with a measure of risk, we temper our decisions with confidence in the capacity and extraordinary resilience of the women and men we support.

This work requires many hands, tireless persistence and aligned resources. It is based in a vision of a shared future and a shared effort.
