The institute utilizes a shared governance model and a collective fund to support social businesses and philanthropic initiatives by mobilizing capital, knowledge, and connections. The initiative aims to expand a productive inclusion ecosystem that currently includes 120 members and 130 registered projects, which have collectively generated more than R$ 810 million in income. To assist with strategic direction and resource allocation, the institute is introducing ‘Alma Matters,’ a group of investing institutions that will join its Advisory Council. Ambev is presenting this transition at the Impact Minds 2026 conference in Manaus, an event organized by Latimpacto. The initiative also involves participation from PepsiCo and seeks to align international social impact discussions with local Amazonian realities. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-08: Instituto BORA expands productive inclusion efforts at Latimpacto conference Ambev will present the new Instituto BORA at the Latimpacto Impact Minds 2026 conference in Manaus, focusing on productive inclusion and scaling income-generating opportunities. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/instituto-bora-expands-productive-inclusion-efforts-at-latimpacto-conference ### 2026-09-04: Ambev launches Instituto BORA in partnership with Yunus Ambev and Yunus Negócios Sociais have launched Instituto BORA, an organization designed to scale productive inclusion and income generation through a shared network and collective funding model. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ambev-launches-instituto-bora-in-partnership-with-yunus --- Cite as: Ambev Instituto BORA social inclusion initiative.
