Community Development Fund

Engage and strengthen community-based initiatives that promote socio-environmental justice in the Serra Grande region (Uruçuca, Bahia) and its surroundings

We believe that a robust, engaged community is the driver of a territory’s positive transformation, generating innovative and collective responses to public challenges. Therefore, the Community Development Fund was established to support community-based initiatives that value the territory and address inequalities in the region of Serra Grande (Uruçuca, Bahia) and its surroundings via financial donations and technical support to strengthen community capacities.

What moves us is connecting people, community-based activities, and strategic causes to build a fairer and more sustainable territory.

Please donate to contribute to community development in Serra Grande.

Strengthening potentials to reduce inequalities

Fortalecer potências para diminuir desigualdades
Donations from individuals, companies, and organizations are routed through the Community Development Fund to associations, collectives, and community-based initiatives that frequently struggle to access resources. A diagnosis carried out by Tabôa in 2022 identified at least 25 projects focused on socio-environmental agendas, such as youth, gender equity, education, arts and culture, environment, citizen participation, sustainable agriculture, and community-based tourism. This survey helped identify the needs and demands of these groups for institutional development, priorities to guide financial investment actions, and capacity building via the Fund.

Donating to the Fund is an opportunity to promote the development of Serra Grande through listening to the community and empowering their leadership, valuing local knowledge, and responding to demands brought by those who live in and positively transform the territory.

We encourage a direct connection between you as a donor and community-based initiatives. However, if you are still unsure about who to donate to, the Fund serves as a bridge. We are a non-profit civil society association that was founded in 2014 and has been named four times as one of the top 100 NGOs in Brazil. Our financial statements are audited annually and we have had six external audits without negative results.
