Contributing to a secure, inclusive, and equitable society.

Overview

In 2024, Oak Foundation made the difficult decision to close its Brazil programme. While we are no longer accepting new applications, we remain committed to supporting our current grantees with their existing grants and additional assistance. We will continue to commit resources to support organisations in Brazil through other programmes.

Oak’s Brazil Programme was established in 2016 to focus on people – people who see their equal worth, rights, and dignity challenged or denied, and people who see these injustices and work together to address them. Our grantees have helped build strong networks that promote more inclusive societies. This includes supporting local communities to build fairer cities, prevent evictions, and protect biodiversity in Brazil and those who steward it. Our grantees have also worked to promote a safer digital sphere where quality public debate can take place.

We are encouraged by the strong civic movements our grantees have helped to foster. We are honoured to have been able to support their impactful work that has enhanced the lives of so many people.
