The social impact we seek
We want to reduce social inequalities through two central lines of action:
- Support for structuring actions and advocacy – actions with medium to long-term changes;
- Fostering and promoting comprehensive care and full development - stocks with short to medium term changes.
Oxygenated Philanthropy
We like to affectionately say that our philanthropy is oxygenated because:
• we endorse looking at our programmatic fronts in an integrated manner;
• we invest in existing projects, as we understand that collaborative efforts are more sustainable;
• we promote listening to our partners, offering financial and non-financial support;
• our executives are deeply involved in making the most horizontal investment decision;
• we also seek partners outside the third sector to merge and improve knowledge.
