Complex problem

When analyzing the country from the perspective of the allocation of philanthropic resources, it is noted that private social investment has an unequal distribution in Brazil.

What we do?

Solution for the base

Futuro Bem Maior supports relevant social organizations in territories with high social vulnerability. Many of these initiatives, although extremely socially relevant in the territories where they operate, still receive insufficient resources .

The program seeks to promote the protagonism of these organizations, enabling them to achieve their mission with quality and in a sustainable manner.

How it works?

Institutional strengthening of initiatives

The organizations and collectives that participate in Futuro Bem Maior are selected through notices.

The program consists of providing financial support, individual advice and training on topics such as volunteering, management and fundraising, among others. To this end, we have partners who help us in the construction and execution of the program, the Phi Institute, which focuses on follow-up of initiatives, and the Phomenta Institute, which is responsible for the formation of the initiatives.

Theory of change

The grassroots in the center

We believe that the country's social transformation involves strengthening community bases.

Through financial and non-financial investment, we encourage the local protagonism of supported initiatives, capable of promoting the development of the territory, becoming active agents in social transformation and spokespersons for causes in their regions. Strengthening social organizations and collectives located in vulnerable territories, with low national visibility, contributes to territorial development.

MBM testimonials

During the pandemic, our Institute had to close its doors to in-person activities and focus on small specific projects, in addition to helping with campaigns to help our community. To resume activities in 2022, we had to restructure our entire planning and team. The 4th announcement of the Futuro Bem Maior program was essential for us to catch our breath to continue our journey! The financial support is helping the resumption of face-to-face activities, with the payment of professionals to assist with communication, but above all the training we are doing is providing the institute with self-knowledge, greatly helping our team to recognize our strengths and weaknesses and to outline new strategies for the future.

MBM testimonials

Being selected, as an organization for the 3rd FBM notice and participating in the training in 2022, was of fundamental importance for us to understand the crucial moment we were going through. These were old problems, but they required new solutions. Knowing the Theory of Change to know where the OSC wants to get to and how to get there made all the difference so that in 2023 we would have accessed notices such as Itaú Social FIA, developing networking with several other organizations in Gravatá.

Common questions

Do you have any questions?

What is the Futuro Bem Maior program?

Futuro Bem Maior is the national program to strengthen community impact initiatives of the Movimento Bem Maior. With each edition, we select social organizations and collectives and offer financial and technical resources to boost management processes and expand the impact in the territories where they operate.

How can my social initiative participate in the Futuro Bem Maior program?

The program is aimed at social organizations and community-based collectives that operate throughout the national territory. In order for your organization to be selected for the FBM, it must demonstrate, in addition to the strategic criteria that we seek in each edition, technical knowledge about the territory and cause where it operates and good governance practices. To participate in the FBM, you must register your organization in the selection notice. The notices take place every two years. To receive news about upcoming events, subscribe to our monthly Radar MBM newsletter and follow along .

Can social initiatives without CNPJ participate?

Yes. Duly regularized Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and non-formalized groups of individuals can participate.

Does the Program have any restrictions on where the organization operates?

Yes. The organization's operations must be in the municipality where it is headquartered and with a maximum of 200 thousand inhabitants. We will use the IBGE population estimate, located at: www.ibge.gov.br/estatisticas/sociais/populacao/9103-estimativas-de-populacao.html?=&t=resultados .
