The Brazilian Overpass to the Social Good Sphere

We have known Instituto da Criança for a decade now, they have always been characterized by a strong sense of innovation and a constant determination to align planets in the Brazilian Social Good Sphere. After years of successful efforts as a classic nonprofit supporting children and youth, the Institute’s team lead by its founder and president Pedro Monteiro Werneck decided to look for more. They identified a need to bridge their beneficiaries and projects with funders and social investors. They saw the opportunity to have a more systemic impact by developing a culture of action that would have a lasting effect. They decided to provide their managerial expertise to people willing to invest in projects. Today, they’ve moved from a simple doer approach to a culture of architecture applied to the Social...

Today, they’ve moved from a simple doer approach to a culture of architecture applied to the Social Good Sphere. The notion of sharing, co-leading and co-managing projects was about to drive more support, ownership, and sustainability. Their analysis and results prove their vision to be right. They’re about to turn bigger and stronger.

Manifesto Instituto da Criança

We were born from the desire to do good.

We turn good intentions into real impact. We connect those who want to help with those who need to be helped. We inspire people and companies to become part of a network that nurtures and preserves life.

We began with a focus on children, and through them we learned about the power of transformation. Over time, our perspective broadened. Today, we embrace many causes, because we understand that every form of strengthening human potential deserves attention, and every form of solidarity deserves management.

With transparency, efficiency, and sensitivity, we give shape to hope. Our work is rooted in method, process, credibility, and care. We are the link between dream and result. Between purpose and action....

Because well-managed solidarity changes lives. And we exist to make it happen in a concrete, humane, and lasting way.

History

The Instituto da Criança: a social manager that promotes human development. The organization connects people and companies to social projects, working with diverse audiences and causes.
The Instituto da Criança is the second best social organization in Brazil and one of the top 100 in the world according to thedotgood, an international ranking that evaluates the local and global impacts of social organizations (https://thedotgood.net/).

Through private social investment and project management, the Institute aims to inspire solidarity to transform lives. Based in Rio de Janeiro, it acts as a bridge between people and companies that have the means and willingness to invest in social causes, but don't know how to get that investment to those who really need it. Therefore, the Institute connects these two groups, advising companies and channeling financial, human, material, and technical resources to promote social...

Through private social investment and project management, the Institute aims to inspire solidarity to transform lives. Based in Rio de Janeiro, it acts as a bridge between people and companies that have the means and willingness to invest in social causes, but don't know how to get that investment to those who really need it. Therefore, the Institute connects these two groups, advising companies and channeling financial, human, material, and technical resources to promote social development.

With over three decades of experience, the organization maintains an integrated network encompassing more than 1,000 social institutions distributed across 24 Brazilian states and the Federal District. Furthermore, it has a portfolio of its own programs, consolidating its presence and impact on the country's social landscape. Part of the funds raised are allocated to these organizations and programs. The actions carried out include financial contributions, material donations, humanitarian assistance in emergency situations, training and development of social entrepreneurs, as well as support for causes such as education, decent housing, employability, among others. In this way, the Instituto da Criança provides opportunities for these Civil Society Organizations to expand their activities and have greater development capacity, generating more impact on the causes they work for and defend, thus strengthening the Third Sector.

The Instituto da Criança holds four seals: the Transparency Seal, which is granted to organizations that demonstrate excellence in registration, accounting and accountability management, as well as a strong alignment with the principles of compliance and social responsibility; the Transparent Organization Seal, which aims to attest to the transparency of information through the web; and the Donate Seal, which seeks to encourage, legitimize and highlight professionalism and transparency in Brazilian social organizations. These three awards are granted by the Doar Institute. And the "Women-Friendly Company" Seal, granted by the Rio de Janeiro State Secretariat for Women, recognizes the dedication to promoting gender equality, combating violence, and valuing women professionally at the Children's Institute. It is also worth noting that the Institute is audited annually by EY.
