A reality to be transformed

We believe that through education we can build a more plural and inclusive business environment capable of responding to new society’s challenges. Therefore, we awarded scholarships to low-income people engaged in actions of impact and social transformation and, with potential to develop a leadership role in actions focused on promoting inclusion and diversity or that contribute to poverty alleviation.

A Fundação Dom Cabral
FDC is a not-for-profit institution that believes in education as a starting point and as a way to overcome difficulties, generate sustainable development and boost major transformations.

Over our history, we developed activities to promote education, management, sustainability and citizenship, focusing on young people in vulnerability, on management for social organisations and on entrepreneurship for the bottom of the pyramid. FDC has already invested R$ 17 million in scholarships and transformed the lives of more than four thousand people.
FDC – Centro Social
Cardeal Dom Serafim
Oportunidades iguais para diminuir diferenças

Since its very foundation, FDC bets on the power of education and social transformation to create a more prosperous and inclusive world, and the FDC Cardinal Dom Serafim Social Centre is another major step towards expanding and intensifying efforts to transform the bottom of the social pyramid and creating a better society. The focus is on the development of educative actions that bring autonomy and dignity, creating opportunities to reduce inequalities.

Together we reach further.
In 2026, when FDC will celebrate half a century of history, we want to grant up to three thousand scholarships. We reckon this is a very ambitious goal, but it matches contemporary challenges and helps reduce the enormous lack of more diverse leaders Brazil needs now.

Through this Fund, we offer our vast experience and provide access to new ideas, new voices coming from different backgrounds, to help develop new leaderships and, thus, we take a decisive step towards a more plural social and economic environment.

We are present where we can make a difference

We want to be present at all moments of an individual’s life, helping not only his or her development but also increasing the positive impact that only education may cause on society.
