Core offering

Coalizão pelo Impacto is a national coalition program that coordinates 10 institutional partners to strengthen impact business ecosystems across six Brazilian cities in five regions. It delivers its impact through financing calls (R$35,000–R$150,000 per program), capacity-building courses, local governance councils, and events that connect incubators, accelerators, universities, foundations, government, and impact entrepreneurs. The program is managed by ICE (Instituto de Cidadania Empresarial) and projects R$34 million in philanthropic capital deployment through 2026.

Product overview

Coalizão pelo Impacto is a national initiative/program operated by ICE (Instituto de Cidadania Empresarial) that functions as a multi-program portfolio rather than a single technology product. The core offering is the Coalizão pelo Impacto program itself, which operates across six Brazilian cities (Belém, Brasília, Campinas, Fortaleza, Paranaguá, and Porto Alegre) to strengthen impact business ecosystems. The portfolio includes financing programs (Chamada de Financiamento, Chamada Impulso Colaborativo, Matchfunding), capacity-building initiatives (Curso Com+Impacto, Formação de Lideranças Sistêmicas), local governance structures (Conselhos Locais, Projeto Vitrine), event programs (Festival Coaliza, Encontro Nacional, Amazon Experience hackathon), and content/communication initiatives (Fronteiras de Impacto podcast, Programa Vem Transformar campaign). The programs are designed to support organizations that assist impact entrepreneurs, connect ecosystem actors, and facilitate funding flows to social and environmental businesses across Brazil's five regions.
