We support individuals, social organizations, companies, foundations and donor families in creating and strengthening consistent initiatives that can reach their full potential for social and environmental change.
Our logo is inspired by the Paxiúba, an Amazonian palm with exposed roots, known for moving in search of light without letting go of the ground. That is how we work: we help each initiative evolve with method, evidence and financial sustainability, without losing the purpose that gave rise to it.
Clear purpose, a well-defined strategy and a consistent structure so the initiative can grow and expand its impact.
Grounded in field-tested best practices and clear evaluation processes for decision-making.
