Bianca Cardozo Flores

I’m a communications, marketing, and partnerships specialist with 5+ years of experience in the nonprofit and socio-environmental sectors. I focus on building strategic partnerships, leading fundraising efforts, and creating communication strategies that connect people and purpose. In 2025, I secured over $230,000 in funding to support community-led reforestation and social impact projects. I’m passionate about working alongside grassroots organizations and partners to drive sustainable, inclusive change.

Highlights:

• Raised $230,000+ in 2025 for reforestation and socio-environmental projects.
• Built long-term partnerships with corporate donors, foundations, and aligned institutions.
• Managed the full fundraising cycle: prospecting, relationship building, proposal development, reporting, and contract closure.

I see partnerships not as one-off transactions, but as long-term relationships built around shared purpose, transparency, and mutual value. As Head of Partnerships at Samaúma, I led the entire strategy behind the organization’s growth in fundraising and visibility.

My work began with mapping the ecosystem: identifying aligned organizations, building a prospect pipeline, and researching where our mission met theirs. I developed tailored approaches for each partner—writing personalized pitch decks, creating branded materials, and coordinating storytelling that reflected both our fieldwork and technical outcomes.

I worked closely with the executive team to align communication and fundraising efforts, ensuring we were speaking in a unified voice across all platforms. I also built internal systems for follow-up, tracking impact metrics, and strengthening reporting practices. 

By combining field understanding, strategic framing, and relationship management, I helped position the organization as a serious and trustworthy partner in the climate and social impact space.

Deliverables:

• Campaigns across social media, email, and donor materials.
• Website copy, newsletters, donor reports.
• Video production, scripting, and storytelling coordination.

I focus on communication that’s clear and accessible—whether it’s for a technical team, a funder, or the community executing the work. My process is hands-on: understanding the project, setting priorities, organizing workflows, and keeping everything aligned with the organization's voice and goals.

At Eden Reforestation Projects, I coordinated national content efforts—gathering stories from across Brazil to make sure diverse perspectives were represented. I produced mini-documentaries and wrote pieces that showcased the strength of local communities.

At Samaúma, I created full communication materials for social media, newsletters, blog posts, fundraising tools, and branding. These experiences taught me how to combine media, writing, and field engagement to create communication that informs, connects, and mobilizes—always keeping real people at the center.

Highlights:

• Led website development & copywriting for Samaúma and RAIN Reforest.
• Designed pitch decks, presentations, logos, and visual materials.
• Ensured brand consistency across donor and public-facing platforms.
• Created logo and branding kit for SamaÚma

I love working with media—especially producing videos and documentaries. On the side, you’ll find two videos produced by me and the team in Brazil, following a three-week expedition across several project sites (Maranhão, Piauí, and Goiás). The final products highlight restoration efforts in Brazil led by real people—local communities at the heart of the work.

Highlights:

• Managed comms teams and workflows across multiple countries.
• Oversaw PR, media relations, social media, and stakeholder reports.
• Set up CRM systems and donor communication processes.

This part of my work is about structure and leadership—coordinating teams, overseeing systems, and holding together the communication ecosystem behind a project.

As Project Manager at Trees of Music, I led the reorganization of the project's entire communication strategy. I reshaped the narrative to connect the music-driven mission with the technical realities of ecosystem restoration, making it clearer and more relevant for funders and partners. I mobilized an Indigenous community in Bahia for a new planting area, organized field visits, created concept notes, and supported the team in stakeholder mapping and donor positioning.

At Eden, I led Brazil’s communications and PR strategy, ensuring alignment with the organization’s global messaging. I also managed PR efforts—including hosting international media like the New York Times—and created reports, impact materials, and sponsorship content for international fundraising.

My focus is always on balancing internal dynamics with external visibility—making sure the strategy, the storytelling, and the delivery are aligned.

• Coordinated field visits and photo documentation in Indigenous & traditional communities.
• Produced visual content for reports, campaigns, and social media.
• Prioritized respectful, honest representation of people and projects.
