Fundacao Astrojildo Pereira

What Fundacao Astrojildo Pereira does

Fundação Astrojildo Pereira (FAP) is a Brazilian civil society non-profit foundation headquartered in Brasília (SAUS Quadra 05, Edifício OK Office Tower, Asa Sul) dedicated to political analysis, democratic studies, and the preservation of Brazilian political history, with an institutional affiliation to the Cidadania political party. Its core offerings include the online magazine Revista Política Democrática (through at least Edition 70), a virtual bookstore (Estante Virtual) selling physical and digital books on Brazilian politics, democracy, public administration, and history, and a specialized research library (Biblioteca Salomão Malina) with a digital catalog operated through the Sophia library system. The foundation also curates digital archives and dossiers (Acervo/Dossiês) documenting the Brazilian dictatorship period, and produces multimedia content including podcasts, video, and a cinema club (Cine Clube Vladimir Carvalho).

FAP's underlying technology is a conventional digital publishing and e-commerce platform: a WordPress-based website (fundacaoastrojildo.org.br) hosting institutional pages, a news/blog section, thematic editions, and the virtual storefront, complemented by Google Drive-hosted PDF archives of magazine editions and a flip-book viewer. Customer service is routed through a 1Doc central atendimento and WhatsApp. Distribution is multi-channel across Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Dailymotion, and a weekly email newsletter, with events and courses as mid-funnel engagement mechanisms.

The foundation's business model is hybrid but predominantly mission-driven rather than commercial. Revenue (where generated) comes from one-time unit-priced sales of books and e-books (R$27–R$90, with weekly promotional discounts) via the Estante Virtual and from recurring magazine subscriptions. It is not a venture-backed or investor-funded entity: no funding rounds, parent company, subsidiaries, or external investors are disclosed. FAP is led by Director-General Davi Zaia (recently inaugurated), with Alex Manente publicly aligned to an innovation and technology agenda. No revenue, headcount, or financial figures are disclosed in available sources.

Emerging players

• Poder360: Brazilian digital political analysis and news platform covering politics, elections, and public policy with paid subscription offerings. Comparable to FAP as a Brazil-focused political analysis brand, though operating as a commercial digital media business rather than a non-profit foundation.
• Outras Palavras: Brazilian online political journalism and analysis publication covering contemporary politics, democracy, and social movements. Comparable to FAP in digital-first political commentary and magazine-style publishing, though operating as a journalism outlet rather than a foundation.

Direct peers

• Fundação Perseu Abramo: Brazilian political foundation affiliated with the Workers' Party (PT), publishing political analysis, books, and magazines with a similar non-profit think tank structure. Directly comparable to FAP as a party-linked political foundation producing periodicals and historical content for a Brazilian audience.
• Instituto Lula: Brazilian political foundation linked to former President Lula and the PT, focused on political debate, education, and publications. Direct peer to FAP given similar non-profit foundation model, party affiliation, and focus on political analysis and democratic debate for Brazilian citizens.
• Ibase (Instituto Brasileiro de Análises Sociais e Econômicas): Brazilian non-profit civil society organization producing social and political analysis, publications, and civic education programs. Comparable to FAP as a non-profit foundation focused on political/social research, publishing, and citizen-facing democratic education.
• Cebrap (Centro Brasileiro de Análise e Planejamento): Independent Brazilian think tank focused on political, social, and urban research, publishing academic outputs and maintaining a research library. Comparable to FAP in mission and product mix (analysis publishing, library, researcher support), though with a more academic and less party-affiliated posture.

Broad incumbents

• Fundação Getúlio Vargas (FGV): Brazil's largest and most established think tank/foundation, producing political, economic, and public policy analysis with extensive publishing and library operations. Much larger scale than FAP, but directly comparable in mission (political/public policy research, publishing, library services) for the Brazilian market.
• Fundação Friedrich Ebert no Brasil: German political foundation (SPD-linked) operating in Brazil, publishing political analysis, supporting democratic debate, and producing events. Comparable to FAP in mission and foundation structure, though with significantly greater international funding and institutional reach.
