Tribute to the Future
Since 2004, we have been coordinating the Tribute to the Future: a campaign that mobilizes resources to take more education to adolescents living in the rural regions.That happens based on the support of projects subsidized through the Municipal Fund for Childhood and Adolescence (FIA) of Casas Familiares of Lower Southern Bahia, partner NGOs in the execution of our Social Program.
Resources donated are destined to fund the education process of schools, who benefit - free of charge - approximately 350 teenagers a year, with indirect impact on thousands of people.
In 2022 alone, Tribute to the Future engaged over 1,700 donors and 33 companies, raising over 6 million Reais.
The main form of fund raising of the campaign is through Income Tax destination (IRPF), provided in the Children and Adolescents’ Statute (ECA). This is how it works: donors may simulate beforehand how much income tax they will owe and donate, still during the current year, the equivalent to 6% of the amount to subsidized projects. On the next Tax Return, the amount can be used as a tax benefit, being refunded or abated from the tax payable.
Volunteer Work Program
We believe that volunteer work may help boost communities, strengthen organizations and transform lives.
For that reason, we have developed and execute volunteer work programs connecting people with the time and desire to help institutions that need support.
Since 2021, two programs such as those have already been executed by the Foundation, both in partnership with companies: Na Onda do Bem, in partnership with Ocyan, active in the oil & gas industry; and the VOCÊ, program, in partnership with OEC, a civil construction company. The initiatives promoted voluntary mentoring, carried out by members of the companies, for young people benefiting from Fundação Norberto Odebrecht's Social Program.
The results achieved demonstrate the impact potential. In approximately 5 months, “Na Onda do Bem” alone promoted more than 120 mentoring meetings and mobilized more than 800 hours of volunteer work.
