Brazil Foundation

BrazilFoundation was established in New York as a Public Corporation, a non-profit organization under Section 501© (3) of U.S. Tax Code. In Brazil, the Foundation is registered as Associacao BrazilFoundation, a not-for-profit Public Interest Organization (OSCIP).

BrazilFoundation raises awareness of the initiatives of the Brazilian non-profit organizations. It makes annual discretionary grants in the fields of Education, Health, Human Rights, Citizenship (including local community development) and Culture. Contributions made to BrazilFoundation are deductible to the extent permitted by US Law.

In the United States

With an office in New York and a volunteer base that spans Boston, Los Angeles, South Florida and Washington D.C., BrazilFoundation raises funds in the U.S. for the purpose of sponsoring qualified social investments in Brazil.

In Brazil

With an office in Rio de Janeiro, BrazilFoundation provides support to social projects in Brazil through its programs of Annual Selection, Monitoring and Evaluation, Capacity Building, Projects Bank, and Donor-advised Grants.

The Foundation is governed by two boards: a Board of Directors, which follows closely its operation and development, and an Advisory Board which guides broader initiatives.
