The Bem Maior Movement launches a call for proposals to support community initiatives

The program includes financial support, training, and the offer of strategic partnerships

Social organizations and collectives interested in strengthening their management processes and community impact can participate in the Futuro Bem Maior (Greater Future) call for proposals. With applications open until next Monday, the 27th, the program will select up to 30 initiatives from across Brazil.

In its third edition, the call for proposals is aimed at organizations and collectives with at least five years of activity in municipalities with up to 200,000 inhabitants and an annual budget of up to R$ 500,000. Applications can be submitted on the MBM website.

The program promotes the leadership of organizations in vulnerable communities and the socioeconomic development of these territories. It also encourages the building of new relationships with investment partners.

The 30 selected organizations or collectives will begin the program in December and may each receive up to R$70,000 over the course of a year. In addition to financial support, each project will receive training, management mentoring, discussion groups, and the offer of strategic partnerships with other companies and organizations.

Founded in 2018, the Bem Maior Movement works to identify, connect, and enable social impact initiatives with the goal of strengthening the philanthropic ecosystem in Brazil.
