The Curumim Group, a feminist and anti-racist organization, has just completed 32 years of strengthening women's citizenship at all stages of their lives.

For many years, ELAS+ has pursued gender and race equity in sports as a tool for social transformation, believing in and supporting girls and women. This is one of our areas of investment.

The night of August 30 was one of celebration! Artists, intellectuals and members of ELAS+ reaffirmed the visionary importance of the first and only Brazilian social investment fund for the promotion of Leadership of women and LBT people. The live was mediated by artist Ellen Oléria.

It will provide R$3,750,000.00 in direct grants to groups and organizations of women and trans people. The Call for Proposals Building Movements 2021: strengthening solidarity and trust is a new opportunity for women's and LBT people's organizations to receive flexible support.

We held a special panel with funders of women's and transgender organizations, increasing knowledge between those who have resources and organizations seeking resources, among other supports. These are partners who, more than supporting the organizations financially, can also give visibility on the global agenda to the problems that communities face in various areas, throughout Brazil.

The current context challenges us every day to create new alternatives to move forward. With courage and determination, we transformed our face-to-face Dialogue into broad virtual conversations. This year's methodology was "Talking in Windows" and this is how we broadened our horizons.

Next Monday, August 30, at 7 pm, the artist Ellen Oléria presents the live celebration of the 21st anniversary of ELAS+ on Youtube.

Diversity and multiplicity have always been part of our values. We remain committed to supporting the most diverse women's groups and organizations.

In addition to urgent humanitarian aid, women's groups must not stop their activities. Get to know the ELAS Program in the Emergency of the Future.
