Faith that guides

The value that drives us is the certainty that we have constant potential for improvement. This faith serves as fuel that motivates us to face challenges and promote innovative solutions to the social problems that plague the country. Being open to new ideas and concepts is a manifestation of this faith, promoting change and adaptability to constantly evolving contexts. Social innovation, for us, is a concrete expression of courage in the search for more effective and sustainable solutions to social problems. It's the courage to challenge convention, explore new approaches and take calculated risks to create a significant impact.

Generate positive agenda value

For us, courage is not limited to isolated acts; It is a continuous posture. The commitment goes beyond palliative solutions; aims at structural transformations. The strategic philanthropy approach adopted allows us to see challenges from the perspective of systems change. Complex challenges require complex solutions, and it is with courage that we face structural obstacles such as gender inequality, racial discrimination and other systemic obstacles. Furthermore, courage here is based on a commitment to creating long-term sustainable impact by addressing the roots of social problems. This approach reflects the conviction that structural changes are essential to building a more just and equitable society.

Building collaborative partnerships

Believing in the power of partnerships and collaborations, we know that social change is not a solitary endeavor. Courage manifests itself in building collaborative partnerships and support networks, highlighting the importance of working together with other organizations and sectors to maximize positive impact. By joining forces with committed organizations, companies and individuals, a web of support is created that strengthens efforts in the pursuit of social justice. Movimento Bem Maior is an active member of networks such as WINGS, Movimento por uma Cultura de Donação, GIFE – Group of Institutes, Foundations and Companies and Latimpacto, all sharing the commitment to join forces in the social field. These alliances promote the exchange of knowledge and identification of opportunities for joint actions, strengthening our positive impact.
