Abraços NFP

Abraços is the Portuguese word for embrace. That is what Abraços NFP does
– we embrace people, projects, and causes around the world by increasing their
capacity so that, together, we can create a safer and more sustainable future for
generations to come. Abracos does not duplicate the direct services already
being provided by frontline charities; instead, it strengthens those charities from
behind the scenes so they can better serve the people who depend on them.

Helping helpers do more

Abracos furthers exempt purposes recognized under Internal Revenue Code
section 501(c)(3) by relieving the poor, the distressed, and the underprivileged, by advancing education, and by combating community deterioration. It accomplishes this by helping partner nonprofit organizations – such as a community health clinic, a community empowerment organization, and an orphanage, all based in Brazil, and a partner organization based in the United States – become more effective at raising funds, recruiting and managing volunteers, developing their staff professionally, and improving their governance and management practices.

Impact that grows outward

Because these partner organizations directly serve impoverished families, at-
risk children, and underserved communities, the capacity-building support
Abracos provides indirectly, but substantially, furthers the relief of the poor and distressed and the advancement of education and community well-being in the places where its partners work.

Join the work of care

Currently, Abraços is only supporting a few initiatives, but we plan on adding
new causes in the future. If you would like to participate, feel free to contact.
