The project
Football Project
The Football Project was born from the story of overcoming of Heraldo Sivini, who, through sport, gained access to quality education. During the pandemic, the urgent need to combat sedentarism, depression, and other comorbidities became clear.
Through society football, the project encourages ethical values, discipline, and education as a tool for social transformation.
It involves around 150 people in leisure and physical activities, holding annual charity events with food basket donations.

How to redirect your Income Tax
The entire process is safe and regulated by Law 11,438/2006 (Sports Incentive Law). No additional cost to the company.
Check your tax regime
Confirm the company is under the Lucro Real regime. Only this regime allows the allocation of 2% of income tax.
Calculate the available amount
Identify the amount: up to 2% of income tax owed in the annual return or monthly/quarterly assessment.
Make the deposit
Deposit directly into the Ministry of Sport's account for the project, following our team's guidance.
Deduct on your return
Deduct the amount from tax payable on the annual return. The tax that would go to the government now goes to children in Recife.
