Network launches publication on assessing the legal environment for civil society actors
Knowing the legal environment for the activities of civil society organizations is fundamental to developing strategies and instruments capable of enabling and stimulating the culture of donation in Brazil, especially for the Philanthropy Network for Social Justice and its member organizations, which operate in the promoting grantmaking within the national and international philanthropic ecosystem.
Tax treatment, tax incentives, access to the banking system and other points are central to encouraging donations to civil society organizations. Furthermore, in recent years the increasing restrictions on the participation of CSOs in civic space and also the criminalization of the sector by conservative groups have visibly impacted trust relationships and the flow of donations, not to mention the risks to their performance and activism in the field of access to rights and, in particular, human rights.
