The Brazilian Forum of Philanthropists and Social Investors offers an exclusive space for the philanthropic community to gather, exchange experiences and learn from their peers, strengthening strategic philanthropy to promote the development of Brazilian society. The event is in its 12th edition and has already brought together more than 1,500 participants, including philanthropists, leaders and national and international specialists.
The cross-cutting theme of the event in 2023 will be ‘Boldness.
At the 2023 Brazilian Forum of Philanthropists and Social Investors, we highlighted initiatives for a more transformative, diverse and inclusive philanthropy. We value the creation of financing methodologies and models, the establishment of unlikely partnerships, the promotion of significant changes, the attitude of accepting mistakes and moving forward, and doing differently what was already working. We emphasize entrepreneurship and innovation. Therefore, this year’s theme will be BOLD . Even if innate to human beings, it must be developed, experienced and improved. It requires courage, creativity, planning and perseverance to meet challenges and take calculated risks. We invite you to be inspired by stories.
