Sound management practices are crucial for social organizations to increase the impact they generate on the causes they champion. This is what the ‘Best NGOs Award’ recognizes when it assesses governance, transparency, financial sustainability, communication, and management of organizations across the country. In 2025, IDIS joins, for the sixth time, the list of the 100 Best NGOs in Brazil.

“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, as well as through stronger relationships with existing partners; impact initiatives have been strengthened, such as advocacy endowment funds, Transforming Territories, Together for Health, Commitment 1% and IA.3 – Artificial Intelligence for the Third Sector; the Promoting Philanthropy Endowment has been continued; and important knowledge products have been launched, such as Perspectives for Brazilian Philanthropy 2025, Pathways to more strategic and broader action in family philanthropy and Brazil Giving Research 2024.

“These achievements reflect the ongoing effort of our entire team and our 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.
