Transforming the Social Finance sector in Brazil

In 2023, Sitawi completed 15 years of innovative financial solutions for positive impact. Our journey is full of people, places, and stories transformed by the purpose of enabling positive changes. This year, we were also recognized as the Brazilian top 5 NGO by The Dot Good and achieved BRL 400 million mobilized for positive impact. To tell the stories of the projects, organizations and people that are involved in positive impact with us, we launched a new series of content.

This series has four special pieces about different people in São Paulo, the Amazon, Backlands of Bahia and Rio. All of them are on a journey to transform society and the environment. In these contents, the history of Sitawi is told through the people who we helped all over the country. You will meet 4 successful stories and know more about our journey in the social innovation sector since 2008.

We would not be able to transform so many realities and lives without the support of our donors. You are a part of this transformation! Thanks for the encouragement and stay with us in this journey.

Recently, we published our 2022 Annual Report. It contains our main financial, people and impact data. Furthermore, the material is full of stories! We tell you a little more about our initiatives and actions within our financial mechanisms. You can read more about it in the attachment. 

Our impact generates positive transformations throughout Brazil. In 2022, we had 87 active projects benefiting millions of people and helping build a better future. 

We believe in sharing responsibility for change and setting the best example to strengthen our performance. That is how in 2022 we achieved three important recognitions through joint efforts!

• For the 5th time, we were awarded as one of the 100 Best NGOs in Brazil!
• Our work environment and organizational culture were also acknowledged: for the 2nd consecutive year, we were certified as a Great Place to Work.
• Sitawi was also ranked by The Dot Good (former NGO Advisor) as one of the 100 most influential social organizations in the world and the 5th in Brazil!

This year we will continue with all our innovative financial mechanisms: 

• We customize services with a high level of compliance and security in Philanthropy Management
• In Impact Investment, we make financial mechanisms attractive to both the social entrepreneur and the impact investor.  
• We develop financial solutions to conserve biodiversity and address climate challenges. 
• And we keep developing innovations. Last year we created a new action front in partnership with Endowments do Brasil: multi-cause Endowments at lower costs. 

For example, “Fundo trans - Casa Chama” is the first Endowment dedicated to the cause of the transgender population in the country. It is a shelter for trans people who lack basic rights, public policies and social rights.

We continue to believe that Finance for Good is essential to fulfilling an agenda of positive transformation. You are part of this movement. Thank you!
