To promote higher-quality public education and create more opportunities for everyone, making Rio Grande do Sul a safer and more prosperous state
Objective
We are a nonprofit organization that has been active since 2016, connecting the private sector to the needs of schools, hospitals, and security forces, or acting in emergency situations.
ICF believes that every citizen has the ability and the duty to contribute to making Rio Grande do Sul a more prosperous environment, where everyone can explore their potential and participate productively in the State’s economic, cultural, and social development.

Our Work
Your contribution will help equip and furnish the new public schools under construction
We work on projects to provide better services for the population in the areas of security and education— especially in the most vulnerable regions —through the donation of equipment, materials, construction, and training.
One of our current goals is to raise R$3.5 million to equip three new public early childhood schools, already under construction by ICF, which will create 600 new openings by July 2026.
About Us
ICF operates throughout Rio Grande do Sul, providing equipment, training, and emergency aid. It participated in the mobilization to improve public security indicators in the state, supported more than 400 municipalities during the pandemic with donations of materials and equipment, and after the 2024 floods created projects such as Back Home (De Volta Pra Casa), which assisted over 3,000 families, and Back to School (De Volta Pra Escola), which restored more than 45 schools and benefited around 10,000 children, in addition to many other donations of food and equipment.
