Fundo Baobá para Equidade Racial
Fundo Baobá is Brazil's fund for racial equity, running rolling public calls that resource Black-led organisations and Black individuals. The open Programa Marielle Franco – Apoio Individual (2ª Edição) offers technical and financial support to build the leadership of Black women working to influence and change government policy, an explicit policy-advocacy and capacity track. The fund's editais page also lists Edital Já É (2ª edição), BLACK STEM (3ª edição), Edital Carreiras em Movimento and Edital Educação em Tecnologia.

- Indicative award
- Amount not published (varies by call)No grant amount is published on the open-editais listing page. Amounts are set per edital and are stated in Brazilian reais on individual call pages, which were not retrievable at the time of this sweep; no figure is recorded rather than guessed.
- Timing
- Several times a yearNo specific published date recorded. This funder publishes a cycle rather than a date, and this database does not invent one.Baobá runs several editais concurrently and opens new ones through the year rather than on one annual cycle. No deadline date is published on the open-editais listing page; deadlines appear on each individual edital page.
- Who can apply
- Practitioner, Community organisation, Early-career faculty, Master's / undergraduate
- Eligibility
- The Marielle Franco individual-support call is open to Black women — "mulheres negras cis, trans ou travestis" — who are working across sectors to influence and change government policy; it is an individual award, not an institutional grant, so a university is not the applicant and an eligible researcher would apply in her own name. Other Baobá editais are directed to Black-led organisations and Black individuals in Brazil. Verify the current edital text for each line, as terms differ per call.
