NGO Coalition Seeks Talks With Hacienda, SAT and Bienestar After 270 Donation Permits Revoked

The groups warn that new tax rules create legal uncertainty that puts core social services at risk.

Overview

  • Manifiesta tu Ciudadanía, a network of 37 organizations with reach to about 400 civil society groups, called for an urgent high-level meeting with the Finance Ministry, the tax authority and the Social Welfare Ministry.
  • Reports say authorities revoked 270 authorizations to receive tax‑deductible donations, a status that lets donors write off gifts and often keeps nonprofits funded.
  • The coalition says recent enforcement uses restrictive criteria, adds heavy paperwork and creates legal uncertainty that slows or blocks daily operations.
  • Projects in human rights, education, health, child care, community development and civic participation could be paused or cut, affecting the people those programs serve.
  • The network says it will meet all legal and tax duties and asks for clear, proportionate rules that keep programs viable, and no official response or meeting date has been reported.
