  • BrazilFoundation, boasting nearly 25 years of experience, harnesses its extensive network of experts and community-based organizations to evaluate needs and respond effectively. The foundation is currently focusing on immediate emergency relief, channeling support to organizations that supply food, potable water, sanitary supplies, and conduct rescue operations.

    Through the Luz Alliance Fund, BrazilFoundation has allocated resources to several key organizations, including Banco de Alimentos do Rio Grande do Sul, Instituto Cultural Floresta, Associação Humus Brasil, and Grupo Voluntário de Busca e Salvamento Gerar. Additional partners are being evaluated to ensure that aid is extended to those who can make the most significant impact during this urgent phase. Upcoming funding recipients will be announced following the completion of our thorough due diligence process.

    Looking ahead, BrazilFoundation plans to shift its focus to reconstruction efforts once the floodwaters recede. Working closely with trusted partners, the foundation will determine investment priorities to support the medium and long-term recovery of affected communities. The initiatives selected for reconstruction support will be announced after they have been identified and vetted through our due diligence process, ensuring that resources are used effectively and responsibly.

"Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share." 1 Timothy 6:17-18 Read in the Bible
