What Is a Authorized Donee Agreement Mexico (Convenio de Donataria Autorizada)?

An Authorized Donee Agreement Mexico (Convenio de Donataria Autorizada) is a formal written agreement between a donor (donante) — a company (persona moral) or individual (persona física) making a monetary or in-kind donation — and a SAT-authorized tax-exempt organization (donataria autorizada) that receives the donation for a specific non-profit purpose. The agreement is governed primarily by the Ley del Impuesto sobre la Renta (LISR) Articles 79 through 82, which establish the tax-exempt status framework for non-profit organizations in Mexico, the conditions for authorization as a donataria autorizada by the Servicio de Administración Tributaria (SAT), and the deductibility rules for donations made by taxpayers to authorized donees.

LISR Article 79 establishes the categories of legal entities (personas morales) that may obtain SAT authorization as donatarias autorizadas and operate as tax-exempt entities — these include: civil associations (asociaciones civiles — AC) and civil societies (sociedades civiles — SC) dedicated to education, health, scientific research, environmental protection, cultural promotion, and social assistance; non-profit private assistance institutions (instituciones de asistencia privada — IAP) governed by state IAP laws; federal and state government agencies designated by the SAT; and foreign donee organizations with a Mexican SAT equivalent authorization under international tax treaties. LISR Article 79, fractions I through XX, lists each authorized category, with cultural, educational, medical, environmental, and social welfare organizations among the most common.

LISR Article 82 establishes the requirements that a donataria autorizada must meet to maintain its SAT authorization, including: using its assets exclusively for the authorized purpose (destino exclusivo); not distributing any profits or assets to its members; filing annual ISR informative returns (declaración informativa) with the SAT; issuing CFDI (Comprobante Fiscal Digital por Internet) receipts for all donations received; and complying with the Ley Federal de Transparencia y Acceso a la Información Pública and SAT transparency requirements. The SAT publishes and annually updates the Anexo 14 of the Resolución Miscelánea Fiscal — the authoritative public list of all currently authorized donatarias in Mexico — and donors must verify that the recipient organization appears on this list before claiming tax deductibility.

For the donor, LISR Article 27 Section I establishes that donations made to SAT-authorized donatarias are deductible for ISR purposes — for legal entities (personas morales) up to 7% of the prior year's taxable profit (utilidad fiscal del ejercicio anterior); for individuals (personas físicas) under LISR Article 151 fraction III, up to 7% of the individual's prior year gross income (ingresos acumulables del ejercicio anterior). Donations exceeding these caps are not deductible. The CFDI issued by the donataria with the fiscal key concept (clave de producto del SAT) for donations is the primary documentary evidence required for the deductibility claim.

The Código Civil Federal (CCF) Articles 2332 through 2361 regulate the contract of donation (contrato de donación) under civil law — establishing that a donation is a gratuitous transfer of property (traslación gratuita de dominio), the donee's obligation to express acceptance (aceptación), and the donor's right to revoke for ingratitude (revocación por ingratitud) under Article 2360 CCF. For monetary donations to donatarias autorizadas, the CCF civil formalities are supplemented by the LISR tax framework, making the combined CCF-LISR instrument the appropriate legal foundation for the Convenio de Donataria Autorizada.

The 2021 Reforma de Subcontratación also introduced stricter identity and RFC validation requirements for commercial counterparties, which extends to donataria relationships — donors must verify that the donataria's RFC is active (situación fiscal activa) in the SAT registry and that no 69-B presumptive tax evasion status applies to the recipient before executing the agreement. Compliance with Ley Federal para la Prevención e Identificación de Operaciones con Recursos de Procedencia Ilícita (Ley Anti-Lavado, LFPIORPI) may also require enhanced due diligence for donations above MXN 100,000.

When Do You Need a Authorized Donee Agreement Mexico (Convenio de Donataria Autorizada)?

A Convenio de Donataria Autorizada Mexico is required or strongly advisable in the following situations.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes: Companies implementing their Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE) strategy through donations to civil society organizations must document each donation with a Convenio de Donataria Autorizada to: (a) ensure the recipient is a valid SAT-authorized donee before transferring funds; (b) establish conditions on the donation's use to align with the company's CSR programme objectives; and (c) obtain a valid CFDI receipt for ISR deductibility up to the 7% cap.

Foundation and trust grant-making: Family foundations (fundaciones familiares), private assistance institutions (IAPs), and corporate charitable foundations that distribute grants to implementing organizations must document each grant through a Convenio de Donataria Autorizada to comply with SAT requirements for donataria-to-donataria grant-making under LISR Article 82 fraction V, which permits authorized donees to donate to other authorized donees provided certain conditions are met.

In-kind donations: When companies donate equipment, furniture, vehicles, medicines, food, software licenses, or other goods to schools, hospitals, or social assistance organizations, the Convenio de Donataria Autorizada documents the goods transferred, their SAT-assessed value (valor fiscal), and the CFDI issuance basis, ensuring the in-kind donation qualifies as deductible under LISR Article 27.

Event and programme sponsorships with deductibility: When a company wishes to support a specific programme — an educational event, a health campaign, an environmental restoration project — and requires both ISR deductibility and programme-specific use restrictions, the Convenio de Donataria Autorizada documents the programme, the donation amount, and the donataria's obligation to use funds exclusively for the agreed purpose.

SAT audit defence: In the event of a SAT audit (revisión fiscal), the Convenio de Donataria Autorizada, combined with the CFDI receipt and the SAT's Anexo 14 verification, provides the primary documentary evidence supporting the donor's ISR deduction claim. Without the formal convenio, SAT auditors may disallow the deduction.

Multi-year philanthropic commitments: When a donor pledges recurring annual donations over multiple years — common in endowment support, scholarship funding, or infrastructure projects — the Convenio de Donataria Autorizada documents the pledge schedule, the conditions under which each annual tranche is released, and the reporting obligations of the donataria for each period. This structure ensures ISR deductibility is properly timed to each tax year's payment rather than improperly accelerated at the time of the pledge. The Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público (SHCP) and the Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera (UIF) both monitor large multi-year donation flows as part of their anti-money-laundering oversight, making formal documentation especially important for gifts above MXN 500,000.

What to Include in Your Authorized Donee Agreement Mexico (Convenio de Donataria Autorizada)

A valid Authorized Donee Agreement Mexico under LISR Articles 79–82 and CCF Articles 2332–2361 must contain the following essential elements.

Identification of Parties: Full legal name, RFC, and fiscal domicile (domicilio fiscal) of the donor (donante) — whether a persona moral or persona física — and the authorized donee organization (donataria autorizada) — with its RFC, registered name, legal form (asociación civil, IAP, etc.), and SAT authorization number (número de autorización como donataria autorizada del SAT) referencing its current listing in Anexo 14 of the Resolución Miscelánea Fiscal. The donee's legal representative (representante legal) and their power of attorney must be identified.

SAT Authorization Verification: Confirmation that the donataria is currently listed in the SAT's Anexo 14 as an active authorized donee as of the donation date — the donor should obtain and retain a screenshot or printout of the SAT Anexo 14 lookup as documentary evidence. The specific authorized purpose category (fines autorizados) of the donataria — e.g. educational, medical, environmental, social assistance — must be stated to confirm the donation's purpose aligns with the donataria's authorization.

Donation Object and Value: Whether the donation is monetary (donación en efectivo) — specifying the amount in Mexican pesos (MXN), the bank transfer reference (SPEI), and the payment date — or in-kind (donación en especie) — specifying each donated good, its description, quantity, and SAT-assessed fair market value (valor de mercado o valor fiscal) for CFDI purposes. For in-kind donations of used goods, the donor must document the original acquisition cost and accumulated depreciation.

Purpose and Use Restrictions: Specific description of the programme, project, or purpose for which the donation is made — including geographic scope, target beneficiary population, programme timeline, and expected outcomes. The donataria's obligation to use the donation exclusively for the authorized purpose (destino exclusivo) and not to divert funds to non-authorized activities under LISR Article 82 must be stated. Any co-financing conditions — e.g. the donation is contingent on the donataria raising matching funds — should be documented.

CFDI Receipt Obligation: The donataria's obligation to issue a valid CFDI (Comprobante Fiscal Digital por Internet) for the donation using the SAT-designated clave de uso (D01 — Honorarios médicos, dentales y gastos hospitalarios / D04 — Donativos, etc.) and the clave de producto/servicio (84111500 — Servicios de organizaciones no lucrativas) within 5 business days of receiving the donation. The CFDI must include the donee's SAT authorization number (número de autorización) and the legend required by Article 82 Bis LISR.

Reporting and Accountability: The donataria's obligation to provide the donor with a programme progress report (informe de avance) and a final financial report (informe financiero final) showing that donated funds were applied to the agreed purpose, within the programme's completion date or by 31 March of the year following the donation.

Anti-Money-Laundering Compliance: Statement that the donor represents all funds originate from lawful sources (fuentes lícitas de ingresos) under the Ley Federal para la Prevención e Identificación de Operaciones con Recursos de Procedencia Ilícita (LFPIORPI). For donations above applicable thresholds, confirmation that the donataria has filed the required Aviso with the Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera (UIF) of the Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público (SHCP).
