São Paulo hosts Festival ABCR 2026 fundraising conference

The city of São Paulo is hosting the Festival ABCR 2026, recognized as the largest fundraising conference in Latin America. Organized by the Associação Brasileira de Captadores de Recursos (ABCR), the event will take place on September 3 and 4 at the Frei Caneca Convention Center.

The festival features over 70 lectures across nine simultaneous stages, covering five thematic axes. Participants include more than 1,200 professionals from civil society organizations, foundations, institutes, companies, and consultancies. Speakers are traveling from 12 Brazilian states, the United States, and England to participate.

In conjunction with the event, ABCR and Certificadora Social are offering a 25% discount on professional certification registration fees. This benefit applies to three modalities: Experienced Resource Raiser (CRE), Qualified Resource Raiser (CRQ), and Incentivized Resource Raiser (CRI). The discount reduces the registration cost from R$ 880 to R$ 660 for ABCR members and those purchasing during the festival.
