GIFE CENSUS 2018

1 Infographic

Diversity in the field
of Private Social Investment

Data from the GIFE Census points to varying characteristics in terms of types of organizations, locations, sizes, styles and operating strategies. Although some of these criteria stand out more than others, certain areas show a trend of increased diversity. There are organizations of different sizes in terms of budget and a wide range of operating strategies. Even though most of the organizations who responded were from the corporate area, in recent editions of the Census there has been a trend towards an increase in family associations and foundations. In addition, organizations are mainly located in the state of São Paulo and in the southeast of the country. Furthermore, the number of social investors executing their own projects was greater than practicing grantmaking in the past, with the 2018 GIFE Census indicating an increase in the grantmaker profile compared to 2016.

GRANTMAKING
Grantmaking, which increased between 2016 and 2018, involves fundings transferred to civil society organizations, as well as to universities and academic institutions, public administration bodies in all areas, and social impact businesses, among others. It is possible that one organization may transfer resources to third parties and also carry out its own projects. This occurs to a lesser or greater extent among those who responded to the GIFE Census.
The value of grantmaking in 2018 was R$ 1.14 billion, an increase of 100% in comparison with 2016, when the total value was R$ 573 million (figure updated by the IPCA). Grantmaking grew from 21% of total investment, in 2016 to 35% in 2018, the highest ratio on record.

The trend has been towards a reduction in the proportion of hybrid social investors, in other words, those who are grantmakers but also execute their own projects. The majority are still investors who are executers, but the proportion of grantmaker organizations increased from 16% in 2016 to 23% in 2018.
