History of Nonprofits in Brazil
Philanthropy in Brazil dates back to its colonization and closely tied to
Catholic Church.
The sector really began to develop in the late 1990s due to several events:
1992 - UN Conference on Sustainable Development and the Environment in Rio
led to increased collaboration and consolidation of philanthropic groups/efforts.
Opening of economy to global market
Inflation control
“The fiscal and legal environment for philanthropy has not kept pace with the
great changes in civil society and in the business sector in Brazil.”
Ex: there are no tax incentives for individuals engaging in philanthropy.

Nonprofit Funding
Brazilian nonprofits are closely tied
and influenced by businesses.
Parent companies provide
resources for affiliated nonprofits
depending upon their annual
profits.
Nonprofit funding comes from
various sources: sales of
goods/services (market output),
government income, private
donations, and membership fees
(other).

Moved by the news coverage families rebuilding after a devastating fire in the Heliopolis.
Baccarelli went to a public school and suggested starting the teaching of orchestral instruments for children and adolescents.
Began with 36 boys playing violins, violas, cellos and basses, initially funded by Baccarelli himself.
Law for Encouragement of National Culture
In 1998 became a privately sponsored organization (NGO)
In 2005 the Institute moved into an old juice factory. The expansion allowed the Institute to offer more services and reach more students.
In 2009, the Institute opened its own stage.
