ICNL’s resources and information on Brazil.

Overview

ICNL supports local partners in Brazil to assess the legal environment for CSOs and develop proposals for enabling reforms. Key themes our partners have addressed include life cycle legislation, public financing of CSOs, the right to freedom of peaceful assembly in the context of Pride Marches and indigenous associations, the legal framework for philanthropy, and more.

The reports in this series describe the legal frameworks for nonprofit organizations and provide translations of relevant legislative provisions.
