CCA \u2013 Connecting Communities in America, an initiative of CF Leads (Community Foundations Leading Change)<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, featured panel discussions and visits to social projects supported by Corporativa de Fundaciones \u2013 the community foundation of Greater Guadalajara \u2013 and which work directly on the issues of migrants and refugees, street children and community development. With a careful eye on diversity and the importance of everyone being able to express themselves in their mother tongue, there was simultaneous translation into four languages \u2013 Portuguese, English, Spanish and French..<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.idis.org.br\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/20230208_113128-1024x731.jpg\")

During the plenary and parallel sessions, the participants discussed the contexts in which community philanthropy with a territorial focus takes place in their countries and realities<\/strong>. It became clear that there are regulatory and donation culture characteristics that differentiate the USA and Canada from the rest of the Americas, and that imply different levels of power and financial sustainability. On the other hand, all participants reinforced the need to strengthen organizations and collectives led by minority groups such as blacks and indigenous peoples, with the role of Community Foundations and Institutes – the CFIs – to make visible and support these groups in mobilizing material and technical resources and immaterial. According to Robson Bitencourt, Manager of the Territorial Development Program for Serra Grande and Tab\u00f4a surroundings<\/p>\n\u201cthe trip to Mexico was an immersion of observation, learning and exchanging knowledge in the field of philanthropy with other foundations in the Americas. It is important to broaden perceptions about the similarities and differences between what we do and what other organizations have also done, as well as the challenges and opportunities. The impression was left that we have opportunities to increase networking and leverage our actions\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe consequences of climate change<\/strong> on vulnerable populations were also at the center of the agenda, reinforcing the point that although the solution to this issue is global, the negative impacts will always be local and specific to each community. In order to unite efforts and address structural issues, the role of the CFIs as articulators of causes emerged, by creating local and even national coalitions to address major issues such as the lack of job opportunities, rural poverty, the issue of refugees, security and advocacy for rights and social justice..<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.idis.org.br\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/20230208_094207-768x1024.jpg\")
The theme of trust in civil society organizations (CSOs)<\/strong> and their role in expressing the plurality of voices in a territory permeated all discussions. Panelists and event participants reported successful cases of North American grantmaking foundations that have increasingly adopted the donation of free resources – free of charge and without restriction to projects – as a basis for its financial contributions, recognizing the excellence and expertise of social leaders in managing their organizations and allocating resources in order to generate more impact in the long term.<\/p>\nDuring their stay in Mexico, the Brazilian delegation took the opportunity to meet and exchange experiences with teams from Comunidar (the community foundation of Nuevo Le\u00f3n), Comunalia (an organization that supports community foundations in Mexico) and Corporativa de Fundaciones, in addition to having visited in loco the community foundations of Morelos and Malinalco.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe technical visits to community foundations reinforced the similarities between Brazil and Mexico, promoting numerous insights and possibilities between Brazilian and Mexican organizations. We found qualified and motivated teams working in networks to promote social justice and community development in their territories\u201d <\/strong><\/span>commented Willian Narzetti, executive manager of ICOM. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Felipe Groba, leader of Transforming Territories, adds, recalling that the meeting contributed to the identification of development opportunities for Brazilian CFIs at different levels of maturity.<\/p>\n
