Instituto Não Aceito Corrupção

What Instituto Não Aceito Corrupção does

Instituto Não Aceito Corrupção (INAC) is a Brazilian civil association founded in 2015 by Prosecutor Roberto Livianu and 32 founding citizens to combat corruption through research, public policy advocacy, education, and civil society mobilization. Headquartered in São Paulo with 15 employees, the organization operates four strategic fronts — research, public policies, education, and civic mobilization — and serves legislators, government agencies, private-sector compliance and ESG programs, academic researchers, journalists, and the general public. Its portfolio of programs includes the Prêmio INAC de Integridade (a recurring anti-corruption award held five times since 2016), the Seminário Caminhos Contra a Corrupção (annual conference now in its 10th edition), the Canal INAC weekly program (launched January 2025 on YouTube and TV COM), the Ética Imortal lecture series (in partnership with Academia Brasileira de Letras and TV Cultura), the CEID research center focused on integrity and sustainable development, and digital platforms including Corruptovírus and Controla Brasil.

INAC does not sell products or services and has no proprietary technology platform; its working tools are multidisciplinary expertise in Law, Political Science, Statistics, and Communication. The business model is purely donation-based, composed of corporate and individual contributions, with Banco Itaú as the disclosed primary patron. Distribution occurs through the institute's website, earned media partnerships with major Brazilian outlets (VEJA, Estadão, Folha, Poder360), TV Cultura broadcasts, social media channels, the 91-point Curso Diálogos learning network across São Paulo State, and recurring public events. The organization publishes quarterly financial statements and annual balances and is governed by an Executive Board and Strategic Council. There is no parent company, no private equity or venture capital involvement, and no publicly disclosed revenue figure.

Core offering

Instituto Não Aceito Corrupção is a civil association without economic ends that combats corruption through four strategic fronts: research, public policy advocacy, education, and civil society mobilization. It delivers a portfolio of programs including an annual integrity award (Prêmio INAC de Integridade), a research center (CEID), citizen reporting platforms, an annual anti-corruption seminar, weekly broadcast programs, a digital library, and lecture series on ethics.

Product overview

Instituto Não Aceito Corrupção (INAC) is a Brazilian civil association founded in 2015 focused on anti-corruption advocacy, research, and education. Rather than a unified technology platform, INAC operates as a portfolio of programs and initiatives: the Prêmio INAC de Integridade is its flagship award recognizing academic and journalistic contributions against corruption; the CEID (Centro de Estudos em Integridade e Desenvolvimento) is its research arm focused on corporate integrity and sustainable development; Corruptovírus was a citizen-reporting platform for COVID-19 irregularities; Controla Brasil promotes municipal internal controls; and the Seminário Caminhos Contra a Corrupção is its annual anti-corruption conference. Supporting these are the Canal INAC weekly media program, the Biblioteca digital resource library, and the Ética Imortal lecture series in partnership with Academia Brasileira de Letras and TV Cultura.
