The Humanize Institute is an institution of the third sector which integrates strategies and articulations for the strengthening of national philanthropy, and the support to reference entities for the sustainable development of the country.

Humanize weaves network connections to contribute to territorial development and the reality of the people who live there, through sustainable use initiatives, socio-environmental impact businesses and public management. In a transversal way, it also works in the development of Civil Society Organizations and education, besides supporting the realization of special projects.

For this, Humanize works from an ecosystem which integrates philanthropy, public institutions, private investment and impact businesses, and which leverages resources and skills. Today, the Institute has 12 active partnerships among alliances, strategic partnerships and co-financing.

We believe that we can be part of a virtuous cycle of experiences to collaborate with the regeneration of individuals and territories in Brazil.

Biomes and territories

Humanize supports projects of national reach, working specially to integrate actions in the Amazon (in the states of Pará and Amazonas), in the Atlantic Forest (in the south of Bahia and in the state of Rio de Janeiro) and in the Cerrado (states of Goiás, Minas Gerais and Bahia), which are our priority territories.

Socio-biodiversity Chains

In order to contribute to territorial development and income generation, we support projects which promote the socio-biodiversity chains of fishing, cocoa and honey, in addition to the theme of seeds. We operate through training and the adoption of sustainable techniques, articulation of market access networks, inclusive businesses and entrepreneurial education.

Our Programs

We work from the Sustainable Use, Entrepreneurship and Socio-Environmental Impact Businesses (NISA), and Public Management programs. Development of Civil Society Organizations and Education are transversal and complement our work.
