Fundação Abrinq

What Fundação Abrinq does

Fundação Abrinq pelos Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente (FADC) is a Brazilian nonprofit foundation founded in 1990 in São Paulo, operating for over 35 years to defend the rights of children and adolescents in alignment with Brazil's Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (Law 8.069/1990). The organization operates a portfolio of 13 interconnected programs organized around three pillars — Education (Creche para Todas as Crianças, Brincar, Construindo Futuros, Alfabetiza), Health (1000 Dias, Adotei um Sorriso), and Protection (Prefeitos Amigos da Criança, Presidente Amigo da Criança, Emergência Humanitária, Coletivos Periféricos) — supplemented by the Nossas Crianças program that provides technical and financial support to civil society organizations. As of 2025, the foundation has benefited 9.25 million+ children and adolescents cumulatively, with 249,051 served in 2025 alone through 78 active initiatives.

The foundation functions as a bridge connecting resources from donors, corporate partners, and municipal governments to vulnerable beneficiaries, monetizing impact through individual donations (monthly R$100-R$300 subscriptions and one-time contributions via doeagora.org.br), corporate partnerships through the Empresa Amiga da Criança certification program, and project-specific sponsorship from institutional funders including Fundação Rainer Blickle and Fundação Salvador Arena. Distribution occurs across four channels: an online donation portal accepting credit, debit, and PIX payments; direct corporate sales via [email protected]; program-based CSO distribution; and a municipal government network engaging over 10,000 mayors across 459 municipalities through the Prefeito Amigo da Criança program. The organization employs 121 staff at its São Paulo headquarters, maintains the Observatório da Criança e do Adolescente for data-driven child rights monitoring, and monitors 8,721 legislative proposals. Technology is not a core component; the foundation's differentiators are its 35-year brand recognition, ecosystem of multi-stakeholder partnerships, and longitudinal data assets on child welfare in Brazil.
