Asilo Padre Cacique

What Asilo Padre Cacique does

Asilo Padre Cacique, legally constituted as Sociedade Humanitária Padre Cacique, is a 128-year-old non-governmental, non-profit charitable association founded on June 19, 1898, by Padre Joaquim Cacique de Barros in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. The institution provides long-term residential care, shelter, and integrated gerontogeriatric services to approximately 100 elderly residents aged 60 and above who are in situations of social vulnerability, without distinction of race, sex, political ideology, or religious creed. Services span seven integrated disciplines delivered on-site: medical care, 24-hour nursing, physiotherapy, speech therapy, nutrition, physical education, and social services, staffed by credentialed professionals (CREMERS, COREN, CREFITO, CREFONO, CRESS) and supplemented by physiotherapy internships through Centro Universitário Metodista do Sul - IPA.

The business model is donation- and grant-funded, not fee-based; residents receive services free of charge. Revenue is assembled from six streams: formal municipal partnerships via Termo de Colaboração and Termo de Fomento agreements with the Secretaria Municipal de Inclusão e Desenvolvimento Humano (SMIDH), with active awards totaling over R$13 million (most notably Termo de Colaboração nº 003/2025 valued at R$7,006,047.39); recurring and one-time individual donations via boleto, credit card, bank deposit, and PIX; tax-incentivized giving through the Fundo Municipal do Idoso (FUMID) and the state Nota Fiscal Gaúcha civic points program; resident contributions of 70% of their social security or welfare benefits; corporate partnerships (Gerdau, Zaffari, CMPC, Banrisul, Corsan, Alibem, AudioPrime, AGAS, Brigada Militar); and earned income from the Brechó Solidário thrift shop. Operating costs run on the order of R$100,000-110,000 per month for food (R$50K) and medicines (R$50-60K) alone, with a near-100-person workforce and a multi-council governance structure (Conselho Deliberativo, Conselho Fiscal, Conselho Diretor) led since 2026 by President Edson Brozoza in his seventh mandate.
