Missão Salesiana de Mato Grosso

What Missão Salesiana de Mato Grosso does

Missão Salesiana de Mato Grosso (MSMT), formerly Inspetoria Salesiana de Campo Grande, is a non-profit Catholic religious civil association (associação civil religiosa) founded in 1894 and headquartered at Rua Pe João Crippa, 1437, Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. It is the regional administrative body (Inspetoria) of the global Salesian Congregation of Don Bosco (SDB) in Brazil, operating across three states: Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, and São Paulo. The organization delivers its mission through a wholly-owned network of subsidiaries including three higher education institutions (Universidade Católica Dom Bosco, UniSALESIANO Lins, UniSALESIANO Araçatuba), the Faculdade Salesiana de Santa Teresa, seven K-12 Salesian schools (Colégios Salesianos), more than 15 parishes, four indigenous missions serving Xavante and Boe Bororo communities (Nova Xavantina, São José de Sangradouro, São Marcos, and Sagrado Coração de Meruri), and social action centers (Centros Juvenis, Oratórios, Obras Sociais). All institutions follow the Salesian Preventive System of Saint John Bosco, integrating reason, religion, and loving-kindness across educational, pastoral, and social programs.

The organization's revenue model is diversified across tuition-based educational services (K-12 and higher education), recurring donations supporting pastoral and parish activities, public-private partnerships with government entities (SENAI, SESI-MS, municipal and state governments), and professional services for corporate social responsibility initiatives. Pricing for educational programs is not publicly disclosed; social and parish services are largely free or donation-funded. The technology stack is commodity: WordPress CMS with Cloudflare email protection for the public site, Senior Sistemas for HR/payroll management, Google Workspace for email, and institutional Salesian webmail infrastructure. Generative AI use is governed by UCDB's Institutional Policy for Responsible AI Use, which permits AI as a complementary tool for lesson planning, materials production, and tutoring under strict human supervision — no proprietary AI models, datasets, or research capabilities are disclosed.

Geographically, MSMT operates across 13+ cities in three Brazilian states, with 101-250 employed staff supplemented by Salesian clergy and volunteers. The organization maintains strategic alliances with the parent Salesian network (SDB, Rede Salesiana Brasil), national Catholic bodies (CNBB, ANEC, CRB Nacional), and increasingly with international and government partners (Corporación Regional de Desarrollo Tarapacá in Chile, Escola Gov of Mato Grosso do Sul, SESI-MS, SENAI). It is a member of the UniRila university network for the Bioceanic Route, with UCDB holding the presidency. The organization is LGPD-compliant (Brazil's data protection law) and has a designated Data Protection Officer. No funding rounds, M&A activity, or external equity are associated with the entity, consistent with its non-profit religious status.
