Fundação Getulio Vargas (Getúlio Vargas Foundation, often abbreviated as FGV or simply GV) is a Brazilian higher education institution founded on December 20, 1944. It offers regular courses of Economics, Business Administration, Law, Social Sciences and Information technology management. Its original goal was to train people for the country's public- and private-sector management. Other courses began to be offered as the institution grew. It is considered by Foreign Policy magazine to be a top-5 "policymaker think-tank" worldwide.[1]

FGV produces a large amount of academic research. The subjects cover macro and micro-economics, finance, business, decision-making, law, health, welfare, poverty and unemployment, pollution, and sustainable development. The foundation also maintains research programs in the fields of History, Social Sciences, Education, Justice, Citizenship, and Politics. FGV also executes projects at the request of the public sector, private enterprise and international agencies such as the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). Notable examples of such work include assistance for the successful Rio de Janeiro bids for the 2007 Pan American Games and the 2016 Summer Olympics.

FGV Management offers lato sensu {broadly} graduate programs in various fields in its Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo campuses. For firms, there is the GVPEC, FGV São Paulo's Continued Education Program.

FGV also offers in-company courses FGV's customers in this area include Caixa Econômica Federal, Banco do Brasil, Banco Itaú, Furnas Centrais Elétricas and Rede Ferroviária Federal, among others.

Every customized course must be approved by the Fundação Getúlio Vargas schools and institutes.
