Building the future together

Governance & Purpose

Everything we do is guided by deep, non-negotiable values. Our work remains rooted in ethical conduct, transparency, and a firm commitment to integrity. One of the pillars of this governance is the Committee for Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning, composed by the CEO, vice-presidents, and leaders from the Lemann Foundation’s impact areas. This strategic forum fosters a culture of continuous evaluation and guides evidence-based result measurement.

During the reporting period, 22 initiatives in the areas of education and leadership were evaluated using complementary approaches based on theories of change and robust monitoring and evaluation practices. The result was a clear improvement in project maturity, with 100% of supported initiatives adopting this strategic tool and implementing some form of structured monitoring.

These planning efforts clearly define the relationship between the challenges faced, the proposed solutions, and the intended impact, guiding our actions toward a Brazil with more justice and development, with quality public education for all.

Financial Resource Management

Our ethical and transparent behavior is also reflected in our financial responsibility. The Lemann Foundation’s budget management is guided by principles of consistency and fairness. In 2024, 85% of the funds managed were allocated to social impact investments, while 15% were directed to institutional costs, ensuring the sustainability of our operations. The resource allocation across work areas is based on each area’s strategic goals and specific needs. Here is the highlight of how the funds were distributed in 2024.
