Where we are
Projects we support
The Institute does not operate the projects directly: we financially support partner organizations and local community initiatives. Each cause receives a monthly resource request and sends us a weekly confirmation photo — a simple, faithful and accountable model.

The Institute's own project — under development
Instituto Verbo Zin supports projects run by partner organizations and local community initiatives. CTIJ is the only project the Institute runs directly. In all others, the Institute acts solely as a supporter and is not responsible for their operation, staff or direct service delivery.
How the support works
Manage the system well, not the people.
- 01
Monthly request
Each project sends a resource request once a month, with what it needs for the period.
- 02
Release of resources
The Institute reviews and releases the resources, with a margin of flexibility for the month's unforeseen needs.
- 03
Weekly confirmation photo
Each week, the project sends a photo of the action carried out — living proof that support became presence.
Support criteria
Instituto Verbo Zin supports third-party projects under two models. Financial support is granted exclusively to entities with their own legal standing, an active tax ID (CNPJ), a bank account in their own name and — when the project serves children and adolescents — registration with the municipal children's rights council of the municipality where it operates. Support in goods and materials may be granted to community initiatives still in the process of becoming formalized: the Institute purchases the goods in its own name, with a fiscal receipt, and delivers them under a formal agreement. The Institute does not transfer financial resources to individuals or to initiatives without legal standing. CTIJ is the only project the Institute runs directly.
The Institute supports more projects than it publicizes. We publicly disclose projects whose operators hold the registrations their activity requires. The others continue to receive support in goods and materials, without publicity, out of respect for each partner's own process.
