Opción por la Caridad

Every year, Andalusian brotherhoods manage a Charity Fund that channels social aid — and with it, a volume of tax deduction that today remains largely dormant.

The problem

An estimated €10–15M in dormant deductions sits in Andalusia alone, spread across the brotherhoods of Seville, Málaga and the rest of the region, with no systematic channel turning it into a Social Dividend for the Charity Fund.

Mechanism

How it works Opción por la Caridad

Activating the Charity Fund

Every contribution to the brotherhood's Charity Fund is channeled to generate, beyond the immediate social effect, the tax deduction recognized under Law 49/2002.

Context

The initiative reads the confraternity phenomenon as an already-existing, mature, high-trust network for social aid — one that needs a fiscal channel, not a new structure.
