MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT 

AND VICE PRESIDENT 

Dear Friends, 

We are pleased to offer you a review of BrazilFoundation’s accomplishments in 

the last three years. The years 2005, 2006 and 2007 represent an intense period 

growth for the organization that started its operations on a shoe string seven 

years ago, in 2001. We have raised resources to support 95 projects, chosen 

among so many proposals received from all corners of Brazil. We have built a 

sizeable donor community in New York and are now reaching to other places in 

the US where significant numbers of Brazilians live: Florida and Los Angeles. 

Today, BrazilFoundation’s name elicits recognition in both countries. We see it 

through the growing number of project proposals received in response to our 

annual call for projects. We strive to support as many of them as we can and 

depend on the generosity of the growing donor community - now over 1,000 

strong. The enthusiastic volunteer base and a committed staff stimulate our 

ability to grow and to provide the much needed resources to Brazilian nonprofits. 

Together with our volunteers and donors we strengthen their abilities to 

promote social change in the country where opportunity to learn and generate 

an income still eludes most of the population. 

In 2005, BrazilFoundation in response to feedback received from our grantees, 

the office in Rio de Janeiro launched the Capacity Building Program. Project 

leaders’ feedback suggests that ongoing technical support is valued as much as 

the grants themselves. Based on this feedback, BrazilFoundation established a 

hands-on training program that includes organizational management, financial 

administration, strategic planning, fundraising and communications. This support 

has made a real difference in our grantees’ institutional growth, programmatic 

impact, and public outreach. 

In 2005 – 2006 BrazilFoundation made significant strides in building new corporate 

partnerships. Corporations such as Embraer, HSBC, TAM Airlines, Vale, 

chose to support projects identified by BrazilFoundation. Our selection process 

and methodologies in monitoring and evaluation have inspired a number of 

corporations to seek BrazilFoundation’s expertise. Capacity building workshops 

and an entire grantee selection initiative was provided to Instituto HSBC in 

2007. 

BrazilFoundation has also developed partnerships in grantmaking with such 

established philanthropies as the Inter-American Foundation, Fundação Vale 

do Rio Doce and the Lemann Foundation to maximize the number of non 

profit organizations we are able to fund. 

We see steady gains in this triennium through trust and knowledge- building, 

both in terms of the work of the non profit sector in Brazil, as well as our own 

institutional development. It is a slow and arduous process but provides great 

satisfaction as we see the growing number of people participating in 

BrazilFoundation's Annual Gala, held in New York City, the flagship fundraising 

event. At the Gala Benefit, BrazilFoundation has the opportunity to honor individuals 

and institutions that have made an impact through their social investment 

in Brazil. Our honorees include the IBM Foundation (USA) for promoting 

access to computer and internet technologies in Brazil; the Ioschpe

MESSAGE FROM PRESEDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT | CONTINUED 

Foundation (São Paulo) for its work with at risk youth in providing business 

training and educational opportunities; and the Roberto Marinho Foundation 

(Rio de Janeiro) for its continued national effort to promote education 

through long distance schooling and television programs. 

We are profoundly grateful to our sponsors Atlas Advisors, TAM Airlines and 

continued support in kind from Zeze Flowers and Cachaca Pitu. 

In order to broaden our donor base in the US, in 2007 BrazilFoundation 

launched its Friends and Partners Campaign. The purpose is to bring the work of 

BrazilFoundation closer to a public that is able to make minimum contributions 

between $30 and $1,000. We offer these donors an opportunity to 

engage in the growing community that cares about and wants to contribute to 

social change in Brazil. 

A BrazilFoundation Friend gains access to information about our activities, is 

invited to our events and, in addition, receives benefits and discounts offered 

by our business Partners -- restaurants, services, travel agencies and retail establishments. 

A catalyst for expansion of our donor base beyond New York City, 

through a series of high-profile outreach events in both Miami and Los 

Angeles, in its first year the Campaign made approximately 400 new Friends 

and 13 Partners. 

There is so much more that can and needs to be done. Our volunteers and staff 

are working closely in developing strategies that will involve more people and 

raise more resources for projects we carefully select and nurture. We count on 

your participation and your continued support of these efforts.

FUNDRAISING 

BrazilFoundation is a grant-making and fundraising public charity generating 

resources to support community-based non-profit initiatives and to foster innovative 

solutions for social problems across Brazil. BrazilFoundation organizes 

informational events – palestras – and participates with information distribution 

in such Brazilian events as film festivals and university seminars in the United 

States to promote confidence in the work of the Brazilian non-profit sector. 

FUNDRAISING AND KNOWLEDGE-BUILDING 

In the United States, BrazilFoundation office is developing fundraising strategies 

and organizes informational events to promote confidence in the work of the 

Brazilian non-profit sector. To this end it produces a lecture series, Ideas that 

Transform Brazil, that disseminates information and allows for close interaction 

with social leaders from Brazil, whether they are BrazilFoundation grantees or 

not. Further in this report is a listing of palestras organized in the past three years. 

Our activities in the U.S. between 2005 and 2007 have sizably increased 

BrazilFoundation's donor community. Most fundraising and public outreach 

activities in 2005-2007 were undertaken by the BrazilFoundation in New York.

Despite what sometimes seem 

like Insurmountable problems facing 

grassroots communities across 

Brazil, extraordinary energy, creativity 

and dedication can be 

found in local social entrepreneurs 

dealing with poverty and inequity 

in both rural and urban environments.

FUNDRAISING | CONTINUED 

With grants from the Tinker and Kellogg Foundations, 

BrazilFoundation launched its National Expansion Project 

in 2007 to strengthen and extend its fundraising capacity 

and broaden its donor base beyond New York into other 

cities with a strong Brazilian presence — starting with 

Miami and Los Angeles. 

FRIEND AND PARTNER CAMPAIGN 

A central platform for the National Expansion Project, the 

Friend and Partner Campaign, enlists the support of a 

growing cadre of individual donors and commercial establishments. 

With a minimum $30 contribution — is provided 

with an annual, renewable affinity card that entitles

In that year it raised approximately $73,000. That 

revenue provided a grant to Dando a Volta por Cima (From 

the Bottom Up) in Nazare da Mata, PE, and four other small 

community-based, non-profit organizations. Dando a Volta 

por Cima works with 100 at-risk youngsters, providing 

them with a safe environment to work and socialize. 

BRAZILFOUNDATION: PROGRESS OVER TIME 

The years 2005 – 2007 were good for growth on all fronts 

at BrazilFoundation as evidenced in the graph below. 

BrazilFoundation would have liked to increase discretionary 

grantmaking to match the gains in fundraising 

however; the continuous fall of the US dollar made this 

impossible in these years.

FUNDRAISING | CONTINUED 

ANNUAL GALA 

The Annual Gala is BrazilFoundation's flagship fundraising event. The Annual 

Gala continued to grow in popularity, and in both 2005 and 2006 the Gala raised 

approximately $320,000. In 2007 the event raised $416,000. There were 500 

people in attendance, and others had to be turned away at the door. A Silent 

Auction at the Annual Gala also added to our fundraising success, and is occasion 

for creativity through the gifts of music, painting, photography, sculpture, 

fashion, and jewelry contributed by artists and designers in the community. 

In 2006, BrazilFoundation brought a group of eight musicians from the Orquestra da Grotta to perform at its Annual Gala 2006 the guests at 

the benefit dinner a chance to meet young people who have benefited from their generosity. They played Mozart, Pachelbel and a selection of 

popular Brazilian music and received a standing ovation from the audience. 

Since the Gala, two Orquestra musicians, the twins Wagner and Walter de Oliveira Caldas, were offered tuition scholarships by the University of 

Northern Iowa to study music. They are currently in residence in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Three other Orquestra members have passed the Rio de 

Janeiro Federal University entrance exam and are an inspiration to younger musicians to follow suit.

BRAZILFOUNDATION GRANT PROGRAM 

BrazilFoundation provides support to community-based 

non-profit organizations in Brazil with three main types of 

grants. 

DISCRETIONARY GRANTS are awarded under 

BrazilFoundation’s Annual Project Selection Program. 

BrazilFoundation's Rio de Janeiro office announces annually 

an Open Call for Project Proposals on its website, analyzes 

applications, conducts on-site visits and makes grant recommendations 

to the Board of Directors. Grant resources come 

from BrazilFoundation’s discretionary budget. Each grant 

has a one year time-line, requires implementation reports on 

a quarterly basis and is accompanied by capacity-building 

services and technical support, as necessary. 

DONOR-ADVISED GIFTS provide a way for donors in the 

United States to channel financial support to non-profit 

organizations in Brazil and claim the charitable deduction 

allowed by United States law. BrazilFoundation undertakes 

due-diligence of potential donor-advised recipients to 

ensure their suitability. Upon request from the donor, 

BrazilFoundation may provide monitoring and evaluation 

services. 

PROJECT BANK is a database of BrazilFoundation 

grantees that have proven effectiveness and results. Donors 

interested in social investment in Brazil are provided a roster 

of organizations from which they may select one or 

more to support. 

ANNUAL PROJECT SELECTION 

The selection process is designed to identify projects of 

small and medium-sized non-profit organizations, often 

with limited access to funding, led by local social entrepreneurs 

committed to producing tangible and effective solutions 

to the most pressing problems in their communities. 

These communities are spread across the country and to 

date have come from 24 of the 27 Brazilian states.

2006 

Since it initiated its grants program in 2002, 

BrazilFoundation has provided funding and technical 

assistance to over 90 community-based projects. These 

projects are organized by category in Education, Health, 

Human Rights, Citizenship (Participatory Development) and 

Culture. Each one presents well-defined goals for the one 

year grant period. BrazilFoundation accompanies grant 

implementation through quarterly reports and progress 

assessments sent by the grantees. 

In selecting proposals, BrazilFoundation pursues its goal of 

having a positive and direct impact on the local community. 

Selected projects promote development of local leadership, 

equal opportunity income generation and, scalability 

of technology and ideas. 

Specific criteria for selection include: 

• Institutional capacity (or the potential to develop such 

capacity) to implement the proposed project 

• Clear programmatic definition and innovative technology 

in the proposed area of action 

• Good understanding of and connection with the project 

community’s needs 

• An action plan containing clear goals that reference 

the targeted community and meet its approval 

The selection process starts with a Call for Proposals published 

on the BrazilFoundation website. Submitted proposals 

are subject to two rounds of readings by a committee of 

analysts and staff. Out of approximately 1000 submissions 

received each year, 50 finalists are identified. The recommendation 

of these finalists is made to the Board of 

Directors. BrazilFoundation then conducts on-site visits to 

meet both the project coordinators as well as its beneficiaries. 

Generous support from TAM Brazilian Airlines makes 

these crucial visits possible.

NATIONAL PROJECT DISTRIBUTION 

BrazilFoundation has provided support 

to non-profit, grassroots organizations 

in nearly every state in Brazil, 

as shown in the map. These small and 

medium non-profit organizations are 

often located in vulnerable and geographically 

hard-to-reach communities. 

These communities are further 

isolated by limited access to telephone 

and internet, and they also 

often lack basic social services and 

financial resources that would be provided 

by the state. BrazilFoundation 

has set itself apart among donor 

organizations by traveling to remote 

communities to visit innovative projects 

ensuring that no project is 

excluded because of its geographic 

location.

The non-profit sector in Brazil is

concept and how to act on it.

CAPACITY-BUILDING PROGRAM 

The quality of grantees’ leadership is a crucial ingredient in 

the success of the projects that BrazilFoundation funds. 

Over the years, BrazilFoundation staff has observed many 

impressive social entrepreneurs working in very small 

community-based organizations. They are often young (in 

2007 the median age was 35). An impressive 70% had 

returned to their home communities after attaining a 

University education. Our grantees are as often men as 

they are women. 

Theater as a Pedagogical Tool 

BrazilFoundation’s Capacity Building Program uses theater as an important 

tool for learning and engaging. The “Morro Azul” (Blue Mountain) play 

opens the three-day program with a fresh and humorous look at the challenges 

faced by a group of small town residents working cooperatively to 

improve life in their community. 

The performance breaks the ice and helps connect the public – project leaders 

from throughout Brazil – with the social context and experiences of the 

characters. The play brings up themes related to organizational issues, communication, 

the use of resources in the community and the fulfillment of 

human potential, all to be addressed in the workshops that follow. 

This performance has been presented in all capacity-building workshops 

led by BrazilFoundation for its own grantees, as well as to grantees of 

other funding agencies, since 2006. Its ongoing success has assured that 

“Morro Azul” will continue to surprise and move audiences going forward 

forward. 

10 

Once selected for support, two leaders of each organization 

participate in a three-day “Boot Camp” in Rio de 

Janeiro where they convene for workshops, tutorials and 

discussion groups on non-profit systems management. As 

part of the experience, they learn to identify new community 

partners, manage budgets and develop internal and 

external communications systems. The training is facilitated 

by BrazilFoundation staff, and has been given to 185 

leaders from 100 organizations since 2005.


MONITORING AND EVALUATION 

BrazilFoundation's Monitoring and Evaluation Program ensures that funded projects 

spend their financial grants in the most effective way possible. Appropriate 

indicators are determined before the project begins, and are used to monitor 

grantees’ progress. Quarterly reports, direct contact with project leaders, site visits 

and technical assistance, including access to BrazilFoundation online Forum and 

grantee database, are some of the tools used to assist each project’s development. 

This monitoring and evaluation process helps BrazilFoundation identify replicable 

social practices and technologies, promote collaboration among grantees and 

enhance their performance. A final project evaluation verifies the local social 

impact of the project and the extent to which the work of BrazilFoundation has 

contributed to strengthening the organization and the community. 

Significant changes that are direct results of BrazilFoundation funding include 

improved access to basic social services, better health and community safety , 

greater educational attainment,new opportunities for income generation and 

social inclusion.

SOCIAL INVESTMENT: 

BIG IMPACT IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES 

Profiled in the following pages are a number of the organizations that have 

become a reference in their areas of expertise. All of these projects are potentially 

replicable. Some project activities have affected changes in public policy, a potential 

quality we look for as we analyze proposals received. 

THE CENTER FOR POPULAR AND SOCIAL EDUCATION 

Centro de Educação Popular e Formação Social — CEPFS 

Teixeira, Paraíba 

Focus of Activities 

Local Development – The Security of Adequate Fresh Water Supply and strengthening 

Local Governance (Fortifying Community) 

A small, non-profit located in the semi-arid region of Paraíba approaches the problem 

of drought conditions with innovative, sustainable solutions that include building 

cisterns designed to collect, store and purify rainwater. These cisterns can supply 

a family of six with potable water for up to eight months. Water collected in 

large open tank systems is used for animal husbandry and agriculture. 

Starting Point 

CEPFS had a highly profficient technical team for both the development and the 

introduction of rainwater collection technologies in the community. However, 

weakness in internal management and communications hampered the organization’s 

ability to promote its work and weakened its fundraising efforts. 

With support from BrazilFoundation… 

CEPFS has launched a new website and is in the process of restructuring its communications. 

These steps have already increased CEPFS visibility, raised public 

awareness and helped its fundraising efforts.

Total Amount Invested 

R$ 50.000,00 

Results 

37 cisterns and one open water-storage tank were constructed and operationalized. 

These benefit 65 families, or approximately 390 individuals. 

Six communities, approximately 700 residents, received technical assistance for 

organizing community associations. 

Ninety families were instructed on how to treat the water stored in cisterns. 

Participatory use of financial resources in each community was established with 

revolving funds which enable members of the community to access basic or emergency 

services. These include the purchase of seeds or medicine—while ensuring 

that expenditures are regenerated over time. Once resources are returned to the 

fund, the association selects the next family to have a cistern.

SOCIAL INVESTMENT: BIG IMPACT IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES | CONTINUED 

HEART OF THE STUDENT INSTITUTE (PRECE) 

Instituto Coração Estudante 

Pentecoste, Ceará 


Education and Local Development 

In the small municipality of Pentecoste, PRECE has developed an educational model 

in which teenagers form cooperative study groups to prepare for public university 

entrance exams. Their success rate is high and, in large part, graduates return to the 

community bringing with them their university educations, thus revitalizing the 

process of local development. 


In 2003, PRECE was lead by one university professor. He gathered six young members 

of the community to study for university entrance exams under the shade of a 

big mango tree.. He used an abandoned flour shed to teach on rainy days. Although 

he had a good idea and the initiative to put it into practice, he had no infrastructure 

or sustainable management. 


PRECE is now teaching 1,100 students in five counties in the region. A new office in 

Fortaleza, the state capital, is the headquarters where university students develop 

and direct projects that are helping scale up PRECE's scope of activities. The small 

flour shed in Pentecoste has been completely remodeled and can now accommodate 

students from other communities as well. PRECE's infrastructural development 

can be observed through the active initiatives of its graduates who initiate and 

organize local forums on public policy issues.

Results 

182 students who had participated in PRECE study groups were successfully admitted 

to the University of Ceara. 

Three new study groups during this period have been started in three new communities 

( nearly 155 new students) 

Approximately 90% of PRECE university students (164 of 182 young people) return 

home from university each weekend to coordinate local projects and study groups.

RECICLARTE INSTITUTE FOR EDUCATION AND CULTURE 

Instituto Reciclarte, Cultura e Educação 

Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro 

Orquestra de Cordas da Grota (String Orchestra of the Grotto) has become a beacon for 

youth living in the favela Grota de Surucucu. Local children come to study music there 

because they are inspired by the youth playing their violins, violas and cellos in the 

String Orchestra of the Grotto that performs at many cultural venues locally, nationally 

and internationally. 


In 2004, the rehearsals of the small String Orchestra of the Grotto were held in a tiny 

house with a dirt floor. The place had precarious security, and was a constant target of 

thieves. However, it was the only space they had to store their musical instruments. 

With Support from BrazilFoundation… 

Instituto Reciclarte now has a solid, two-story building as its headquarters, complete with 

classrooms, a library, a computer center and ample space for rehearsals and practice. The 

Orchestra is popular with diverse audiences and receives numerous requests to perform, 

both nationally and internationally. Reciclarte keeps detailed records of all its activities. 

It has grown to respond to other needs of its students ,including preparatory 

courses for those youngsters ready to take university entrance exams. The space is safe, 

and has become a cornerstone of the community. 


• Score Ten – an award from the State Office of Cultures of Rio de Janeiro. 

• Transforming With Art Prize given by the National Economic and Social Development 

Bank (BNDES). 

• A new partnership was developed with Cooperforte (a cooperative organization 

established by Banco do Brasil) for institutional support.

Results 

A 60 member string orchestra made up of disadvantaged youth from the low income 

community of Grota de Surucucu practices weekly and performs in various spaces locally, 

nationally and abroad in Portugal and the United States. 

Eight young musicians have been trained as teachers and educational monitors for state 

projects in Musical Education. 

180 youth have participated in the various educational programs, including classes in 

composition, music theory and instrumentation, such as the violin and the flute. 

25 youth from the community completed the coursework for the university entrance 

exams. 50 more are currently studying for the 2008 exams. 

Two members of String Orchestra of the Grotto are currently on enrolled on scholarships 

at the Music School of the University of Northern Iowa in the U.S.

Artideas generates innovative options for work training and income generation through 

what they call the economics of solidarity. It extends financial opportunities to individuals 

in need. Formed by groups of craftsmen, Artideas offers micro-credit loans at low 

interest to residents living in the low-income communities of the state capital Vitória. The 

goal is to stimulate individual entrepreneurship as well as the construction and maintenance 

of homes. 


In 2006, Artideas developed an alternative, solidarity-based economic program for residents 

of the low-income district of Morro de São Benedito. Its small staff put began an 

innovative micro-credit lending program. Initial problems included its low visibility and 

limited resources. 


A partnership with the non-profit organization Ação Moradia, in Uberlandia, MG, also a 

grantee of BrazilFoundation, made efficient house building possible using ecological 

bricks. Artideas has since opened an ecological brick factory to supply the community, a 

testament to its administrative capacity, drive and ambition. Furthermore, through its 

visibility as a BrazilFoundation grant recipient, a subsequent collaboration with the 

State University of Espírito Santo and a partnership with the Federal Savings Bank 

increased Artideas’ capacity to serve the community. Today Artideas has expanded its 

reach to neighboring communities with projects of economic solidarity. The organization 

has also created a preparatory program for university entrance exams at the 

request of community youth.

HOUSING ACTION 

Ação Moradia 

Uberlândia, Minas Gerais 


Local Development – Housing 

Housing Action (Ação Moradia) built an ecological brick factory. The ecological brick 

is made of soil mixed with cement and water. Bricks are formed using a simple manual 

press and then dried in the sun, which eliminates the need to use furnaces. An 

environmentally designed home is constructed with technical support made available 

to the members of the community. This enables low-income families to build 

their own houses communally(barn-raising). 


In 2003, Ação Moradia worked in a shed with manual presses to mold ecological 

bricks on a small scale. It was a unique service offered to the community of 

Morumbi, of Uberlândia, MG. 

With Support from BrazilFoundation… 

The small shed grew into a factory with three mechanical presses and other equipment 

able to produce 1,200 ecological bricks per day. Ação Moradia created an 

information center that now provides 200 families daily 23 different courses and 

social services. Ação Moradia has become a reference for public housing policy and 

offers services to companies and local government for constructing low-income 

housing. The organization developed a strategic plan for the next several years that 

will offer employment opportunities for residents, generating income for the community. 


In a unique and pioneering partnership with the Federal Savings Bank, Ação 

Moradia is contracted to build 50 public housing units using ecological bricks and 

barn-raising methodology. In order to be able to respond to this increased demand, 

Ação Moradia built a new factory.

CORPORATE PARTNERSHIPS IN ACTION 

BRAZILFOUNDATION AND HSBC ASSET MANAGEMENT 

HSBC Asset Management commits a portion of fees from its Brazil Equity Fund to a 

dedicated BrazilFoundation account for grant-making in Brazil. 

In 2005, HSBC resources provided direct financing and technical assistance to two projects: 

Rural Education Centers for Access to Universities in Ceara; and Group of Friends of 

Natercia Community in Minas Gerais. 

In 2006, HSBC funds provided support to National Parent and Teacher Association of the 

Antonio U. Alves School in Trairi, Ceara, and New Curupiras in Soure, Marajo Island, Para. 

Instituto de Solidariedade HSBC (Instituto HSBC) is the philanthropic arm of the 

HSBC corporation. In 2007 Instituto HSBC commissioned BrazilFoundation to facilitate 

a series of capacity-building workshops for its project leaders. 

Instituto HSBC and BrazilFoundation together turned their attention to a particularly 

impoverished area of Brazil, the rural Northeast, which has the lowest educational indicators 

in the country. BrazilFoundation developed a three year program for soliciting 

and selecting local projects working on education improvements in this region. The 

program required its own call for proposals, project selection, monitoring and capacity 

building components. By the end of 2007, Instituto HSBC and BrazilFoundation had 

identified ten projects for funding that will impact and strengthen quality of education 

specifically through improvements in teaching and public school infrastructure in six 

Northeastern states. [These grantees are listed below:

Associação Biblioteca Comunitária Maria das Neves 

Nova Soure / Bahia 

Despite being located near Teresina, the 

capital of the northeastern state of Piauí, 

São João da Serra seems to be a world 

apart from everything: isolated by dusty 

roads, the major source of income in this 

small rural town are a few seasonal civil 

service jobs, which close-up during the 

dry season. The only other livelihood 

option open to local families is small-scale 

agriculture. Their children – some 40 in 

number – are enrolled in one of two 

schools serving three communities in the 

region.Both schools suffer from woefully 

inadequate facilities: there are not enough 

desks, classrooms do not have windows, 

the bathroom consists of a small closet 

with a hole in the floor, there is no 

sewage system, and there is no facility to 

provide lunch for the children. 

The project Acorda São João,(Wake Up Sao 

Joao) is one of the projects selected 

through the HSBC-BrazilFoundation partnership. 

. After an immediate improvement 

in the school’s premises, the project 

aims to build a small library, install computer 

stations, and provide technical assistance 

to teachers, school administrators 

and community leaders to improve their 

respective skills. Acorda São João is a project 

of the Núcleo de Estudos e Apoio a 

Políticas Educacionais (NEAPE), a non-profit 

organization dedicated to capacity building 

and technical support for educational 

initiatives.

PRESENTATIONS 

BrazilFoundation's lecture series — 

Ideas that Transform Brazil — is 

designed to inspire interest and 

willingness to make social investment 

in Brazil. A growing audience, 

among them individuals, representatives 

of corporations, the media, both 

Brazilians and Americans, donors and 

volunteers, gather to hear Brazilian 

non-profit leaders and key figures in 

the corporate world speak on matters 

of relevance to social philanthropy 

and corporate social responsibility 

as they are practiced in Brazil. Jorge 

Gerdau Johannpeter, President of the 

Gerdau Group, spoke in 2005; Roger 

Agnelli, President of CVRD-VALE, 

spoke in 2006. Both candidly discussed 

their personal, and institutional 

visions of philanthropy. Since 

both honorees of the Brazilian- 

American Chamber of Commerce 

of New York for their business 

achievements, BrazilFoundation provided 

the opportunity to know them 

for their social investments. Their lectures 

at BrazilFoundation were sponsored 

in part by JP Morgan Bank. 

BrazilFoundation events are 

announced on our website — 

www.brazilfoundation.org — and 

via newsletter, e-mail and print invitations.
