Hello everyone, how are you all? We are already in September 2022, and, in theory, we were supposed to be, (as organizações da sociedade civil – OSCs), raising resources from the General Budget of the Union – OGU, by law, is generally from the first to the twentieth of September of each financial year. However, as it is an election year we are still not completely sure when the fundraising process will take place. Therefore, we want to know how much experience is needed for a Non-Profit Institution to be able to raise funds from the Union, states and municipalities?
Therefore, many Institutions/Non-profit Organizations are left with doubts: – Is my institution able to raise funds from the Union? Do we have enough experience? Are we fit?
Assim farei uma análise técnica das legislações e disponibilizarei logo abaixo as respostas corretas e adequadas.
Technical analysis
A Law no. 13,019/2014, it says:
Art. 33. Para celebrar as parcerias previstas nesta Lei, as organizações da sociedade civil deverão ser regidas por normas de organização interna que prevejam, expressamente:
…
V – possess:
- at least, one, two or three years of existence (emphasis added), with active registration, (our emphasis), proven through documentation issued by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Secretariat – RFB, based on the National Register of Legal Entities – CNPJ, conforme, respectivamente, a parceria seja celebrada no âmbito dos Municípios, do Distrito Federal ou dos Estados e da União, (emphasis added) the reduction of these deadlines by a specific act of each entity is permitted in the event that no organization reaches them;
- experiência prévia na realização, com efetividade, do objeto da parceria ou de natureza semelhante;
In the letter "The" of art. 33 of the respective law we have the following information:
- The institution must have one, two, or three years of existence in the RFB, as, respectively (emphasis added), a parceria occurs at the level (emphasis added) in municipality, state or Union. That is, for municipalities: one year, for states: two years and for the Union: 3 years.
In the letter "B" of art. 33 of the respective law we have the following information:
- Requirement of prior experience in creating objects with a similar nature. As can be seen, the text does not establish time. In this case, where do we find this information? In the decree that regulates the law.
A Decree no. 8,726/2016 which regulates the Law no. 13.019/14, it says:
Art. 26. Além da apresentação do plano de trabalho, a organização da sociedade civil selecionada, no prazo de que trata o caput do art. 25, deverá comprovar o cumprimento dos requisitos previstos no inciso I do caput do art. 2º , nos incisos I a V do caput do art. 33 e nos incisos II a VII do caput do art. 34 da Lei nº 13.019, de 2014 , e a não ocorrência de hipóteses que incorram nas vedações de que trata o art. 39 da referida Lei, que serão verificados por meio da apresentação dos seguintes documentos:
…
II – proof of registration in the National Register of Legal Entities – CNPJ, issued on the official website of the Brazilian Federal Revenue Secretariat, to demonstrate that the organização da sociedade civil existe há, no mínimo, três anos com cadastro ativo, (emphasis added);
III – comprovantes de experiência prévia na realização do objeto da parceria ou de objeto de natureza semelhante de, at least one year of technical and operational capacity, (our emphasis), and the following may be admitted, without prejudice to others:
Section II of the aforementioned decree provides:
- That the Institution needs to have at least three years of existence in the RFB to agree with the Union, the text is almost similar to the law, with an addendum. While the Law says: three years, comma, with active registration, (emphasis added). I.e, by law there are two distinct requirements. One thing is have three years of experience, another thing is to have the active registration at the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service – RFB. The question is, does the active registration have to be for one, two or three years?
- The decree, however, regulating the legislation, provides slightly different information, it says: “…organização da sociedade civil existe há, no mínimo, três anos com cadastro ativo…”. According to the decree, the institution needs to prove three years of existence in the RFB with active registration.
- However, the decree in section III, informs that: “…comprovantes de experiência prévia na realização do objeto da parceria ou de objeto de natureza semelhante de, at least one year of technical and operational capacity…”.
- So prior experience is actually one year, consequently the fitness, the fact of be “fit” is also from, at least one year. Since for the RFB the institution is APT is synonymous with the fact that it is, by law, qualified to carry out its activities in all its legal, legal and administrative fullness.
REGISTRATION STATUS of the Institution
- Therefore, for an institution to be able to prove at least one year of experience, it has to rigorously prove that it is APT, there is at least, ONE YEAR.
Table
| Type | Existence/RFB | Fitness | Experience |
| Unity | 3 years | 1 year | 1 year |
| States | 2 years | 1 year | 1 year |
| Counties | 1 year | 1 year | 1 year |
Follow for knowledge, SMJ.
