Father Anchieta Foundation (Portuguese: Fundação Padre Anchieta) is a Brazilian non-profit foundation of the state of São Paulo that develops educational radio and television programs.
The foundation is named after Saint Joseph of Anchieta, a Spanish Jesuit missionary who was one of the founders of the city of São Paulo and copatron of Brazil.
[2] In May 2007, Paulo Markun won an internal election to become Director-President of the foundation, replacing Marcos Mendonça.
The Board of Directors of the Padre Anchieta Foundation[4] is composed of 47 members.
The government's role in the foundation's decision-making process – which goes against its stated principles – has been a topic of criticism.
