Transparency and Compliance
Transparency is at the heart of our mission to connect Brazil and the U.S. communities.
The Brazil America Council (BAC) is committed to transparency and accountability as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, recognized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as a 509(a)(2) public charity. These designations reflect our dedication to fostering cultural, community, and business ties between Brazil and the United States while maintaining the highest standards of financial responsibility.
Our Nonprofit Status
As a 501(c)(3) organization, donations to the BAC are tax-deductible for U.S. taxpayers, empowering you to support our mission with confidence. Our 509(a)(2) public charity status means we rely on broad community support through donations, event fees (such as our Brazil America Summit), and services like certified translations. This diverse funding model ensures we serve the public good, from promoting Brazilian arts to empowering entrepreneurs in Central Florida.
Annual Financial Reporting
Each year, we file IRS Form 990-EZ, a public report detailing our financial activities, including how we use donations and program revenue to advance our mission. This filing underscores our commitment to transparency and helps us maintain our public charity status. You can view our Form 990-EZ filings on GuideStar or contact us for more information.

Brazil America Summit: Annual events connecting businesses, governments, and communities.
Cultural Events: Art exhibitions and heritage celebrations showcasing Brazilian culture.
