In 2023, the Casa Socio-Environmental Fund set new records by reaching a historic mark in grantmaking – over US$10,8 million distributed among 434 projects throughout Brazil and the world. The annual report reveals a significant increase in direct support to socio-environmental initiatives and the strengthening of partner funds in the Global South. These results reinforce the commitment to supporting local solutions based on nature and climate justice and consolidating its influence in the international philanthropy context.
Of the almost 4,000 grants provided by Casa Fund in its history, 727 went directly to associations and organizations led by the indigenous peoples of Brazil. Over US$ 6 million has been donated to the indigenous peoples, reaching 402 associations from 182 ethnic groups, representing 60% of the 305 recognized indigenous ethnic groups in Brazil. These significant numbers make Casa Fund one of the largest partners of initiatives led by indigenous communities in Brazil, all carried out through a careful process involving listening and trust.

Acting at the intersection of women’s rights and environmental justice, this work had powerful impacts not only on personal and professional transformation and on the reverberation of women’s voices, but also on organizational changes and the scope of the actions of the organizations in which they work, and, finally, had great results in terms of advocacy with the local authorities of the territories in which they operate. These impacts deserve a space where we can analyze, in more detail, the evidence of positive changes in the territories, from this partnership between Casa Fund and GAGGA.
