Common questions about collective financing for social impact
Collective financing for social impact refers to mechanisms where multiple individuals pool resources to support projects, organizations, or initiatives that create positive social or environmental outcomes. This includes donation-based crowdfunding, social lending, and investment models with below-market returns.
AFIP (Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos) has specific regulations regarding the tax treatment of collective funds, including reporting requirements for platforms, tax implications for contributors, and documentation standards for organizations receiving funds.
Donation models involve contributions without expectation of repayment or financial return, while lending models create a debt obligation where the borrower agrees to repay the principal, potentially with reduced or zero interest in social lending contexts.
Platforms typically need to provide clear information about fees, fund allocation, project outcomes, and financial reporting. Requirements vary based on the platform type, legal structure, and whether they handle donations, loans, or investments.
Nonprofits can access diverse funding sources, engage broader communities, reduce dependency on traditional grants, and build direct relationships with supporters. Collective financing also provides opportunities for smaller projects that might not attract large institutional funding.
Effective governance includes clear decision-making processes, stakeholder representation, independent oversight, regular audits, transparent communication channels, and mechanisms for addressing conflicts of interest or grievances.
