Did you know that individuals and companies who pay income tax in Brazil can turn part of the tax they owe into music, education, and opportunities?

See below how you can help make the largest classical music festival-school in Latin America happen.

Step by Step for Individuals:

1. FIND OUT HOW MUCH YOU CAN DONATE

You can allocate up to 6% of your income tax owed to the project. If you’re not sure how much you can donate, the FEMUSC team can help you estimate the amount based on your previous tax return.

Example:
If your income tax owed is R$ 20,000:
6% of R$ 20,000 = R$ 1,200

You can allocate up to R$ 1,200 to FEMUSC.

2. CHOOSE TO SUPPORT FEMUSC

FEMUSC has a project approved by the Brazilian Ministry of Culture to receive funds through the Federal Culture Incentive Law (Lei Rouanet).

Project: 22º Festival Internacional de Música de Santa Catarina (22nd International Music Festival of Santa Catarina) – PRONAC: 262811
Classification: Article 18 

By supporting FEMUSC, you help nurture the next generation of musicians, broaden access to classical music, and transform lives through education and culture.

3. MAKE THE TRANSFER

Make your donation directly to the project’s dedicated bank account, using the details below.
Important: the transfer must identify the donor and be made within the project’s fundraising period, which runs until December 2026.

Donation details:

Project: 22º Festival Internacional de Música de Santa Catarina – PRONAC: 262811
Proponent: Sociedade Cultura Artística SCAR
CNPJ (Brazilian company tax ID): 82.901.638/0001-68
Bank: Banco do Brasil
Branch: 0405-7
Checking account: 87.298-9
Deposit type: Donation

4. SEND YOUR PROOF OF PAYMENT TO FEMUSC

After making the transfer, send the proof of payment to diretoriaexecutiva@scar.art.br or via WhatsApp at +55 (47) 98447-1581.

The FEMUSC team will take the necessary steps to register your donation and issue the official cultural patronage receipt (Recibo de Mecenato), the document that proves where the funds were allocated.

5. KEEP THE RECEIPT

Keep the patronage receipt with your income tax documents. You will need it to report the donation on the following year’s tax return.

6. REPORT THE DONATION ON YOUR TAX RETURN

On the following year’s income tax return, report the amount actually donated to the cultural project, in accordance with the guidelines of Brazil’s Federal Revenue Service (Receita Federal).

Step by Step for Companies:

Your company can also transform lives. Companies taxed under the Actual Profit regime (Lucro Real) can allocate part of their income tax owed to sponsor cultural projects approved under the Federal Culture Incentive Law (Lei Rouanet).

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

Your company’s brand will also be featured in FEMUSC’s promotional materials and activations, according to the sponsorship tier. Contact our team to learn more.

How to become a sponsor:

1. CHECK ELIGIBILIT

Confirm with your company’s accountant whether it is taxed under the Actual Profit regime (Lucro Real) and is eligible for tax-incentive sponsorship. Companies can allocate up to 4% of their income tax owed.

2. CHOOSE THE FEMUSC PROJECT

Help us build the largest classical music festival-school in Latin America, bringing together talent from around the world to nurture the next generation of musicians, broaden access to music, and transform lives through education and culture.

3. MAKE THE SPONSORSHIP DEPOSIT

Once the sponsorship amount has been defined, the company makes the deposit into the project’s dedicated account:

Project: 22º Festival Internacional de Música de Santa Catarina – PRONAC: 262811
Proponent: Sociedade Cultura Artística – SCAR
CNPJ (Brazilian company tax ID): 82.901.638/0001-68
Bank: Banco do Brasil
Branch: 0405-7
Checking account: 87.298-9

4. KEEP THE RECEIPT

Once the sponsorship is confirmed, FEMUSC will issue the official cultural patronage receipt (Recibo de Mecenato), which proves the allocation and will be used by the company for tax purposes.

5. USE THE TAX INCENTIVE

The sponsorship amount can be used as a tax incentive on the following year’s income tax return, subject to the limits and conditions established by current legislation.
