The Santa Catarina International Music Festival (FEMUSC) transforms the musical encounter into an opportunity for education, cultural exchange, and professional growth. Now in its 22nd edition, the festival brings together students and musicians from around the world for a free experience of learning and musical camaraderie.

There are 350 spots available across orchestral instruments, classical voice, and string quartets, as well as 160 spots for children and young people in the FEMUSCKINHO and FEMUSC JOVEM programs.

During the festival, around 200 free concerts and performances bring music to theaters, public squares, hospitals, and other venues, connecting diverse audiences with the art form.

More than just training musicians, FEMUSC creates connections that allow music to reach further.

You can turn a portion of your taxes into music, education, and opportunities.

Find out how to donate part of your income tax to FEMUSC.

If you are an individual taxpayer and use the “full” (itemized) tax return form, you can allocate up to 6% of your income tax liability to a cultural project approved under the Federal Cultural Incentive Law.

And best of all: you make the donation now and report it on your tax return the following year.

How to make your donation:

1. Find out how much you can donate

You can allocate up to 6% of your income tax due.

If you don’t know how much you can donate, don’t worry. The FEMUSC team can help you estimate the amount based on your previous tax return.

Example: If your income tax due is R$ 20,000:
6% = R$ 1,200
You can allocate up to R$ 1,200 to FEMUSC.

Your company can also transform lives. Companies taxed under the Actual Profit regime (*Lucro Real*) can allocate a portion of their corporate income tax to cultural projects approved under the Federal Law for Cultural Incentives (Rouanet Law).

Instead of simply paying the full tax amount, your company can direct a portion of it to support the training of young musicians.

How to make your donation:

1. Check eligibility

Confirm with your company’s accounting department whether it is taxed under the Actual Profit regime and is eligible to make tax-incentive allocations.

2. Choose a FEMUSC project

3. Make the donation

After determining the amount, the company makes the deposit into the project’s dedicated account:

Proponent: Sociedade Cultura Artística SCAR
CNPJ (Tax ID): 82.901.638/0001-68
Banco do Brasil
Branch: 0405-7
Account: 87.298-9

4. Keep the receipt

Once the donation is confirmed, FEMUSC will issue the official sponsorship receipt—a document verifying the allocation of funds that the company will use for tax purposes.

5. Take Advantage of Tax Incentives

The allocated amount may be used as a tax incentive against your income tax, subject to the limits and conditions established by current legislation.
