Associação Fundo Patrimonial Patronos da BrazilFoundation
Investing in Education to Transform Brazil
Objective
The Fund’s proceeds will be used to finance projects and initiatives organized by the entire Unicamp community (students, teachers, researchers), with the objective of promoting education and helping students take advantage of all opportunities.
The Fund will be sustained through its initial capital, which will grow with help from individual donations. The Patronos Fund aims to distribute its funds through public calls for proposals to finance extracurricular courses, such as Decola Extras, as well as initiatives that foster entrepreneurship through mentorship programs and events, such as Hackaton Patronos and Trilha de Carreiras.
