Valuing knowledge built by political minorities and territories is the spirit that guides the Knowledge Program.
The Program aims to promote the production and sharing of content and knowledge through the systematization of practices, experiences, reflections, and the development of studies and social technologies that can drive and position the agendas of community philanthropy and social justice in the Brazilian philanthropic ecosystems.
By selecting community leaders and professionals working in philanthropy and civil society, the Program supports researchers, students, and members of the community and civil society by awarding grants. The purpose is to promote the production of up-to-date and innovative knowledge related to community philanthropy and socio-environmental justice.
This knowledge, in addition to showcasing the strength of community experiences and wisdom, aims to highlight philanthropic practices and collaborative arrangements linked to communities, groups, movements, and civil society networks in the agendas of human rights access and recognition, focusing on political minorities. Thus, the Knowledge Program aims to strengthen the Comuá Advocacy Program, which seeks to influence the philanthropic ecosystem by producing knowledge in the field, understood as a strategic action.
In summary, the Knowledge Program has the following objectives:
In Em 2022, seven grants were awarded to civil society leaders and professionals who conducted research and projects in various fields, contributing to strengthening community philanthropy and social justice in Brazil. To learn more about the research conducted by this first group, listen to the first season of the Comuá Network's podcast here and access their publications on Transform HUB.
This project aims at a general evaluation of the financing of micro-projects with peoples and traditional communities of the Cerrado and Amazon, implemented by ISPN (Institute of Climate, Society, Population and Nature). These micro-projects serve as philanthropic tools designed to align with the realities of many of these communities, which face both a significant lack of support and considerable challenges in accessing and managing resources to enhance their activities.
This project aims to strengthen the development of narratives and assessments in the field of philanthropy and private social investment in Brazil, focusing on streamlining processes and prioritizing the allocation of resources to initiatives in Brazilian favelas and areas dedicated to racial, social, and gender justice. To achieve this, collecting and studying national and international experiences to facilitate the discourse on philanthropy democratization in the country will be promoted.
This project seeks to investigate the international and national experiences of giving circles, as well as strategies that are being adopted by FunBEA in the experience of planning and structuring the donors' circle campaign on the North Coast of São Paulo. This effort aims to recognize characteristics and peculiarities compared to the international literature on donation circles.
The objective is to systematize the local experience of strengthening community-based organizations in the Greater Florianópolis region served by ICOM through individual, free, and personalized consultations related to institutional development for community philanthropy. ICOM is a reference in this type of consultancy in the region, and the systematization of this experience to develop a range of materials and tools can be replicated in other contexts and organizations.
This project aims to gather and systematize the political perspectives of Black women leaders and organizations from the North and Northeast regions regarding the realm of Black philanthropy in an e-book.
This project seeks to obtain a qualitative view of the integration of Afro-Brazilian religious communities into philanthropic ecosystems by conducting interviews with leaders involved in community actions and organizations that promote community philanthropy. The interviews will be semi-structured, maintaining a thematic but open and informal focus, allowing for dynamic conversations between peers.
The project intends to promote remembrance and reflection on the Brumadinho Regenerative Fund, enabling the replicability of the experience in other territories. To achieve this, a series of interviews with residents, mentors, curatorial team, and fund recipients will unveil the step-by-step process of designing the fund, from the initial idea to the execution of local projects.
