The Comuá Network is a space that brings together thematic, community funds and community foundations, independent donor organizations (grantmakers), which mobilize resources from diverse sources to support groups, collectives, movements and civil society organizations that work in the fields of socio-environmental justice, human rights human rights and community development. Supporting civil society initiatives led by political minorities with financial resources is a key strategy for the promotion and construction of agendas aimed at the recognition and defense of rights, and therefore, for the strengthening of Brazilian democracy.
