This book presents a comprehensive analysis of Civil Society Organizations, exploring the legal, institutional and managerial aspects that support their activities.

The e-book is structured based on current legislation and updated theoretical references, the content offers academic and practical support to those who work or wish to deepen their knowledge of NGOs, foundations, associations and social projects. The main focus of this book is to contribute to the understanding of the role played by civil society organizations in Brazil, considering both their legal configuration and their practical actions in promoting the common good, defending rights and building a more just, participatory and supportive society.
Throughout the content presented, the essential aspects of the legal formation of these organizations are discussed, highlighting the particularities of associations and foundations, their forms of constitution, regulation and operation. The analysis of the current legal framework, with emphasis on Law No. 9,790/1999 and Law No. 13,019/2014, allows us to understand the institutional paths taken by the Third Sector and its relationship with the State through formal partnership instruments.
In addition, the book addresses in depth financial sustainability and organizational management, emphasizing the importance of strategic planning, ethical fundraising, social impact assessment and the professionalization of entities. These elements are presented as fundamental pillars to ensure the continuity and effectiveness of the actions developed by civil society organizations.
The book also recognizes the value of volunteering, ongoing training, active social participation and social control as essential tools for the legitimacy and qualification of Third Sector practices.

Intended for students, managers, researchers, professionals in the sector and all those who wish to understand in greater depth the dynamics and challenges of civil society organizations, this book aims to be a tool for theoretical and practical support, contributing to institutional strengthening and expanding the social impact of these entities.

With accessible language, theoretical foundation and reference to legal and academic standards, the content presented here seeks to foster critical reflection and inspire transformative actions. May this reading illuminate paths and drive initiatives committed to building a more humane, democratic and supportive future.

Thus, the work is essential reading for researchers, students, professionals in the social area and agents committed to strengthening social practices in Brazil.
