The André and Lucia Maggi Foundation is responsible for AMAGGI’s private social investment actions.
Created in 1997 with the mission of contributing to local and human development, the André and Lucia Maggi Foundation is a non-profit social organization responsible for managing AMAGGI’s Private Social Investment, the largest grains and fibers company in Brazil.
We work to contribute to local and human development, seeking to transform realities with actions, projects and programs that contribute mainly to access to education, work and income and community leadership.
Initially, we worked with specific actions and philanthropic and socio-cultural activities, as required by the localities. Over time, we started to work more strategically, investing in the development of communities and territories together with AMAGGI.
We always consider local knowledge and practices as a potential for social transformation, and we consolidate partnerships with civil society organizations, companies, foundations and business institutes, public authorities and financial institutions – to name a few.
At that time, our objective was to raise funds to construct the Renato Sucupira Hospital in Sapezal (MT).
Our first projects were our soy-based beverage plant, the ballet workshops and the choir for children and teenagers in Rondonópolis (MT).
We started the Public Selection of Projects (SPP) and the Support Program for Social Institutions (PAIS) through public notices.
The city of Rondonópolis received our first shared cultural space. Soon after, it was the turn of the municipality of Itacoatiara, in the state of Amazonas, to be contemplated.
We carried out the first technical training activity for social institutions. Starting in 2010, we started supporting projects aligned with the Millennium Development Goals, a UN global agenda
We became André and Lucia Maggi Foundation, including the name of the family’s matriarch that influenced the history of AMAGGI and the Foundation. We also created a new project portfolio for the Foundation.
We carried out the last edition of the Public Selection of Projects and started the projects “Transform” and “Strengthen”.
We completed 20 years of contribution to local and human development.
We held the first edition of the André and Lucia Maggi Award, which recognizes institutions that work for the social development of their communities.
We carried out our second strategic review. Based on it, we created a new portfolio focused on promoting social leadership, implemented our Project Office (based on the PMO Value Ring Methodology) and prepared a Plan of challenging goals to be achieved by 2025.
Given the covid-19 pandemic, we paused the scheduled activities to serve the population in the states of Mato Grosso, Rondônia and Amazonas with the distribution of basic food baskets through the “One for All and All Against Covid-19 Fund″.
We created the Foundation Incentives – More than 40 projects by Organizations and Social Initiatives linked to the areas of Health, Social Protection and Education were awarded financial and technical support to develop locally and socially the municipalities in the states of Mato Grosso, Rondônia and Amazonas.
We focus our activities on developing and strengthening local capacities through work with social organizations and municipal councils.
In 2022, we implemented the new Foundation’s design, based on the creation of the Growing with the Locality Program and the redesign of our Theory of Change, which resulted in our Institutional Positioning. The new Program is divided into four initiatives: Family Farming, Professional Qualification and Employability, Entrepreneurship, and Strengthening of Social Organizations.
Be ethical, fair and consistent with what we think, say and do.

The Foundation’s activities are guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a global agenda proposed by the United Nations (UN) for member countries, including Brazil.
Consisting of 17 goals and 169 targets to be achieved by 2030, the SDGs are a call for society to work actively to ensure human rights, end poverty, act against climate change and ensure that people everywhere may live a life of peace and prosperity.
The SDGs have a fundamental role in the search for solutions to the world’s main social, environmental and economic challenges. At the Foundation, we consider some SDGs to be the main ones for our work, i.e., that have direct action by the Foundation and others that are transversal, with indirect action.
SDG 1 – Eradication of poverty
SDG 2 – Zero hunger and sustainable agriculture
SDG 4 – Quality education
SDG 8 – Decent work and economic growth
SDG 5 – Gender equality
SDG 9 – Industry, innovation and infrastructure
SDG 10 – Reduction of inequalities
SDG 11 – Sustainable cities and communities
SDG 12 – Responsible consumption and production
SDG 13 – Action against global climate change
SDG 16 – Peace, justice and effective institutions
SDG 17 – Partnerships and means of implementation
We know that transparent action is essential for the success of our actions and to maintain the trust of the communities where we operate. Therefore, its members and councils take decisions on the Foundation’s activities jointly in meetings open to the public. In addition, all work is inspected by independent auditors, with a regular rendering of accounts to the Public Ministry of Mato Grosso and society.
The Foundation annually publishes its Activities Report, developed based on GRI indicators, with all actions carried out in the previous year.
We seek to transform the reality of the territories for the better to contribute to reducing inequalities of groups and people in a situation of socio-economic vulnerability. That’s why we work closely with the communities, identifying and teaming up with partners. In this way, we seek to strengthen local initiatives and the prominence of each citizen impacted by our projects
