Fundação Cargill focuses on strengthening food systems that are safe, sustainable, and accessible, with a strong emphasis on projects that create local prosperity in Cargill-linked municipalities and regions across Brazil. Its funding tends to support cooperatives, impact businesses, and civil society organizations working on food security, sustainable agriculture, local development, and innovation in food systems. The foundation also steps in during crises through emergency funds for food assistance and support to local institutions.
Primarily uses time-bound edital/chamada processes with no unsolicited proposals, offering grants typically in the R$100,000–R$150,000 range for selected projects; emergency support is invite-only and deployed as needed during crises. Regional calls and thematic rounds vary by edition and geography, with funding concentrated in municipalities or regions where Cargill operates.
Watch for each new edição of the Chamada Semeia and Nutrindo Soluções Locais, since deadlines vary and applications are only accepted through the published edital. Do not submit unsolicited proposals; instead, prepare a project aligned to food security, sustainable agriculture, local development, or food-system innovation in an eligible geography, and be ready to demonstrate measurable community impact and local implementation capacity.
