Grants
Promoting the leading role and the strengthening of Brazilian civil society is a central value for iCS in the building of a strong economy, with a guarantee of well-being for the population and the geopolitical recognition of Brazil abroad.
This is essentially achieved through the donation of financial resources, generally accompanied by other types of backing, such as support for networking, technical training and the coordination with different actors in the field or with other sectors.
iCS operates strategically.
In addition to selecting proposals that are presented to us, we proactively seek out projects and organizations that can contribute to the central objectives of each portfolio. We believe in respect the autonomy of the supported institutions, at the same time, we encourage each one’s work to join the efforts of the others, helping them to achieve much more significant results than they could achieve separately.
The group of grantees of iCS, i.e., the organizations that receive our grants, is significantly varied and includes organizations of different sizes, located in various parts of Brazil, some very recent and others with long experience.
They include organizations that are more dedicated to the production of knowledge, such as think tanks or universities, and others that work to influence decision makers to act on the basis of evidence. There are also organizations that monitor public policies, such as watchdogs, and some that are dedicated to campaigns, which seek to involve the population with a certain subject.
On the one hand, we have established a medium- to long-term relationship with many of our grantees, supporting the evolution of their work over the years. On the other hand, we are permanently looking for new partnerships in order to renew and expand the range of the supported institutions.
We present below two forms of research for the grants made by iCS.
From 2016 to 2022, the grants can be researched by the areas of expertise and years. From 2023, with the new iCS model of operation, the grants will be classified by areas and objectives.
