Good management practices are decisive for social organizations to expand the impact of the causes they champion. That is what the Best NGOs Award recognizes by assessing governance, transparency, financial sustainability, communication, and management among organizations across the country. IDIS received, for the third time, the title of Best NGO in Philanthropy, Volunteering, and Support for Civil Society Organizations in Brazil. In addition to the award in the special category, for the sixth year, IDIS was also recognized as one of the 100 best NGOs.

“Reaching the Best NGOs list for the sixth time is a milestone that reinforces our responsibility toward the philanthropy ecosystem in Brazil. Each recognition is an incentive for us to continue improving our management and delivering more impact through private social investment,” says Paula Fabiani, CEO of IDIS.

Throughout the year, IDIS has made a series of investments to strengthen the Institute and its projects. Highlights include ongoing monitoring of indicators, investment in management platforms, and increased training and development of the team. As a result, consulting projects have expanded with new clients, the relationships with existing partners got stronger; impact initiatives such as advocacy endowment funds, Transforming Territories, Together for Health, Commitment 1% and IA.3 – Artificial Intelligence for the Third Sector; have flourished; and important knowledge products were launched, such as Perspectives for Brazilian Philanthropy 2025, Pathways to more strategic and broader action in family philanthropy and the forth edition of the Brazil Giving Research.

“These achievements reflect the ongoing effort of our entire team, board members and partners. We have invested in processes, technology, indicator monitoring, and people development, always aligned with our mission to inspire, support, and expand private social investment and the positive change it generates,” adds Paula.

We congratulate all the organizations that, across different causes and territories, work every day for Brazil’s socioeconomic development and that were also recognized in this edition of the award.
