How do donations from the Receita Federal work?
The Receita Federal makes donations through two schemes. The first concerns free donations, aimed primarily at Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) that carry out actions focused on the public interest and social initiatives.
The second, in turn, relates to the sale of products at events, such as bazaars, organized by the civil entities themselves. Therefore, it is crucial to emphasize that the sale of these products to the final consumer is strictly prohibited.
In this context, at the time of purchase, it is imperative that the OSC issue a receipt, detailing the goods and the amount, while also recording the buyer. Thus, the receipt remains valid for two years and serves as a guarantee for both the Tax Authority and the OSC.

However, civil society organizations need to supplement the request with other documents, such as registered bylaws, proof of the organization’s address, and certificates confirming tax compliance, among other items.
