Black Women and the Challenges of Activism in the Pandemic

The Philanthropy, Social Justice, Civil Society and Democracy Seminar, by Rede Comuá, highlighted the central role that black women must play in debates on decolonization and reconceptualization of the field of philanthropy in Brazil.

By Andreia Simplicio

The logic of colonization and the hierarchization of bodies created tools of racial disparity that are based on coloniality and are maintained through power dynamics in social relations. These subsidize the behavior and social imaginary that feed and reproduce racial violence in everyday life. The logic of subalternization also impacts the structure of grassroots organizations and the format in which they are included in the philanthropic ecosystem, donation culture and political scenario.

Between challenges and hope, philanthropies that resist

By Luisa Hernandez and Jonathas Azevedo

Influencing the field of philanthropy is not an easy task. The reproduction of colonial structures, racism, misogyny, LGBTIphobia and other forms of violence make philanthropy an environment that can still be very exclusionary, especially for political minorities. The Philanthropy, Social Justice, Civil Society and Democracy Seminar of Rede Comuá, held on the 20th and 21st of September in São Paulo, was an important reminder to everyone present, however, that philanthropy can also be a space of resistance , struggle, collaboration and, especially, hope.

Between the challenges and hope, philanthropies (in plural) that resist

Doing advocacy work in the field of philanthropy is not an easy task. The reproduction of colonial structures, racism, misogyny, LGBTIphobia and other diverse forms of violence make philanthropy an environment that can still be very exclusionary, especially for minority groups. However, Comuá Network's 10th Anniversary Seminar “Philanthropy, Social Justice, Civil Society and Democracy”, held on the 20th and 21st of September in São Paulo, was an important reminder to all those present that philanthropy can also be a space for resistance, struggle , collaboration and, especially, hope .

Perceptions about Philanthropy

By Mariana de Assis

Philanthropy, Social Justice, Decolonial Philanthropy, Human Rights, Democracy. The 10-year Seminar of the Philanthropy Network for Social Justice – now titled Rede Comuá – immersed us in these themes and, in two days, brought together in a single environment the references of the national and international philanthropic system. I was there.

It's funny to note that when I started my professional work in the social field years ago, the notion of philanthropy was welfare, charity. The evolution in conversations, and cultural political moments, provoke welcome questions and reflections on the reframing of the concept.

Perceptions on philanthropy

Philanthropy, Social Justice, Decolonial Philanthropy, Human Rights, Democracy…

The 10th Anniversary Seminar of the Brazilian Philanthropy Network for Social Justice – now Comuá Network – immersed us in these themes and, in two days, brought together in a single environment the references of the national and international philanthropic system. I was there.

It's funny to observe that when I started my professional career in the social field years ago, the notion of philanthropy was linked to assistentialism, charity. The evolution in conversations, and the cultural political moments, provoke questions and reflections on the re-signification of the concept that are welcome.

The metaverse of Philanthropy: building transformative realities based on social justice

By Marcelle Decote

You may have already heard or read something about the technological phenomenon of the moment: the existence of what we call the Metaverse. This is nothing more than the terminology used to indicate a type of virtual world that tries to replicate reality through digital devices. A reality shaped and controlled by a programmer, who operates through tools other possibilities for different worlds and meanings of good living.

The metaverse of philanthropy: Building transformative realities from social justice

You must have heard or read something about the technological phenomenon of the moment: the Metaverse. It is nothing more than the terminology used to indicate a type of virtual world that tries to replicate reality through digital devices. A reality shaped and controlled by a programmer, who operates through tools other possibilities of different worlds and senses of well-being.

Past September, in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, the Brazilian Philanthropy Network for Social Justice – now Comuá Network, organized an international seminar that shed light on relational debates between democracy, community philanthropy, social justice and human rights, by black people, cis and trans women, by social organizations and community funds that operate significant transformations in communities. It is up to us to emphasize that in that week, our own metaverse of Social Philanthropy was created, where the reality shaped through our theory of change has at its center diversity, territory and an unbureaucratic way of doing things.

Building horizontal spaces to share knowledge

By Diane Pereira Sousa

The title of this text is the first definition of Rede Comuá under my eyes. There are many ways to choose to define yourself as a network, but I will stick with the one that connects and expands. This text, which follows in a horizontal line, intends to talk to you about how knowledge is constructed based on decolonial community philanthropy. We are not designing recipes, in fact what we aim to do is build spaces with possibilities.

There are many ways to do philanthropy, few people recognize this. Here is our first frontier. When I refer to people, I am recognizing the existence of a system, mode, objective qualification about what philanthropy means for those who recognize it and not exactly for those who do it.

Building horizontal spaces to share knowledge

The title of this text is the first definition of the Comuá Network in my view. There are many ways to choose whether to define yourself as a network, but I will stick with the one that connects and extends. This text, that follows a horizontal line, intends to talk to you about how knowledge is constructed from a decolonial community philanthropy. We are not designing recipes, in fact what we aim is to build spaces with possibilities.

There are many ways to do philanthropy, and few people recognize this. Here is our first frontier. When I refer to people, I am aware of the existence of a system, an approach, an objective qualification about what philanthropy means for those who recognize it and not exactly for those who do it.

Collaborative philanthropy in search of territorial sustainability: reflections and lessons learned

By Bianca L Avancini, Larissa Boing, Roberto Vilela, Semíramis Biasoli, Simone Amorim, Willian Narzetti

Among the various philanthropy practices existing in the Brazilian scenario, collaborative architectures have been strengthened as a path for the development of territories, from a perspective that assumes the construction of socio-environmental justice as its horizon. Forged from the praxis of various social actors, especially organizations and collectives that make up organized civil society, this is a field under construction. For this reason, it is important to deepen reflections on this way of practicing and thinking about philanthropy, having the dimension of the territory as its structuring axis.
