The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development aims for no small feat. Its main motto is: "Leave no one behind." However, we know that many Brazilians have already been left behind. That's why the Bem Maior Movement was created. We came to mobilize peers. To combine efforts. To form networks. To strengthen the culture of philanthropy in Brazil. To thus guarantee the inclusion of those who have not benefited from the development efforts made so far and to prevent more people from becoming socially excluded.
In this first year, we worked on brand awareness, community engagement, and a major project to support organizations with community impact – a call for proposals to select 50 CSOs for financial support. A promising path to expand the potential of private social investment.
But in the long term, we don't want little either. We are working on coordinating the sector and influencing public policies for systemic impact. Ensuring quality education is the first step. We want more. We are building the foundations for an inclusive and democratic society that values diversity, reduces poverty and inequality, making the country more consistent and just.
