Instituto Mão Amiga

What Instituto Mão Amiga does

Instituto Mão Amiga is a private nonprofit social-assistance organization founded on February 5, 2009, in the state of Paraná, Brazil. It is headquartered in Campos dos Goytacazes and operates with a staff of approximately seven employees. The organization's stated mission is to promote social assistance for minorities and excluded populations, support economic development, and combat poverty in Paraná, with a particular focus on people with physical and visual disabilities, elderly individuals, and underprivileged communities.

Its core operating model is intermediary in nature: the institute facilitates recurring donations from consumers of a partnering energy (electricity) company and channels those funds to charitable and social-assistance institutions throughout Paraná. Donors receive tax benefits in exchange for their contributions, while partner institutions benefit from a more consistent funding base than ad-hoc philanthropy would typically provide. The institute itself does not sell products or services; "pricing" is not applicable to its operations, and no revenue model, product suite, proprietary technology, AI/ML capabilities, API, SDK, or patent portfolio is documented. Engagement with donors and institutions is conducted through basic direct-contact channels — a toll-free number (0800 180-8080), a mobile line (41 99182 3538), and an email address ([email protected]) — with no disclosed digital fundraising platform, mobile application, or social media presence.
