ABTRF - The Rotary Foundation in Brazil There is no difference between ABTRF (Associação Brasileira da The Rotary Foundation) and The Rotary Foundation because they are the same entity. Amalgamated in the same ideal, providing the same benefits of subsidizing projects, unity is provided. In relation to ABTRF the projects granted by the Rotary Foundation in Brazil are also rendering humanitarian services and reinforcing the studies of young professsionals and promoting peace and understanding. But there is something more that we acquired with the creation of ABTRF. A new window of opportunities was opened to obtain contributions of public and private companies resident in Brazil, giving them recognition and legal fiscal receipts and benefits. These enterprises that have clear view of their social responsibility have at their disposal a reliable and safe form to exercise it, by coupling with Rotary. They can then count on with our reliability, internationality and ubiquity provided by our multitude of clubs. The partnership that we can envision with these companies is not for just one intervention or just one project. It must be planned to last. Need to be planned to render conspicuous enhancement of common values and perspectives of sustainability that guarantee the perpetuity of this relationship. An example is the case of the insurance company Porto Seguro, whose highest level managing board had the initiative to give up part of their revenue to be put to work by Rotary clubs in Brazil.
