Funds mobilized
BRL 309,2 millions
The participation of civil society with voluntary donations made by individuals was also extremely relevant to the actions developed throughout the year. Developing a donation culture is part of the BB Foundation's resource mobilization strategy.
Civilian Household / Federal Government
In early 2020, Banco do Brasil Foundation structured a tool aimed at receiving donations for Operação Acolhida (Welcoming Operation), a humanitarian task force coordinated by the Federal Government with the support of United Nations agencies and civil society, which offers emergency assistance to Venezuelan immigrants.
Still in the first quarter of that year, BB Foundation also signed an agreement with the Civilian Household of the Federal Government to enable emergency actions to combat and mitigate the effects of the coronavirus/Covid-19 pandemic. Within the scope of this partnership, the Solidarity Crowdfunding project was launched, an initiative linked to the Federal Government's Programa Pátria Voluntária (Voluntary Homeland Program) to support non-profit institutions that work with vulnerable groups in society.
The project made it possible for BB Foundation to receive voluntary donations from private resources, from individuals and companies, to carry out actions for the delivery of food, hygiene items, cleaning and personal protective equipment (PPE), among others.
Centro Infantil Boldrini (Boldrini Child Care Center)
Banco do Brasil Foundation and Centro Infantil Boldrini (Boldrini Child Care Center), located in Campinas (SP), signed a cooperation agreement in which BB Foundation will manage, through one of the modalities of its patrimonial fund, financial resources raised for the specific purpose of supporting innovation researches to combat childhood cancer.
Among the planned actions, BB Foundation and Boldrini Center intend to coordinate actions to select, implement, monitor and evaluate projects aligned with the object of the partnership, as well as promoting the capture, management and use of financial resources that will be prospected with donors, who can be natural or legal persons, national or international.
In its 42 years of history, Boldrini Child Care Center has treated approximately 30 thousand patients referred with the suspicion or diagnosis of cancer or hematological diseases.
Donations to the Equity Fund have a tax incentive provided for in Law 9.429/95, which allows legal entities with a tax regime on taxable income to deduct up to a limit of 2% of operating income.
Instituto Ayrton Senna (Ayrton Senna Institute)
United by education, Banco do Brasil Foundation and Instituto Ayrton Senna made an inventory regarding the partnership held in 2019, which impacted 700,000 children in the country with education programs. Altogether, it was possible to support teaching departments in 33 cities in the management of public literacy policies and in tackling the age-grade distortion rates (students with more than two years of school delay).
In addition to contributing to the increase in students' school proficiency through the application of methodologies developed by the Ayrton Senna Institute, the partnership made it possible to train 2,893 teachers from 1,558 different schools.
Environment Secretariat for the Federal District and Brasília Environmental Institute
The northern shore of Lake Paranoá in Brasília (DF) will be recovered by planting native species from Cerrado through a partnership between Banco do Brasil Foundation, the Federal District Environment Department and the Brasília Environmental Institute. The institutions published the public selection notice that selected a non-profit entity to develop conservation and forest restoration actions in the areas of permanent protection. The action is part of the ProgramaRecupera Cerrado (Recover Savannah Program), instituted by District Decree No. 37.646/2016 and involved an investment of BRL 1.4 million.
