They are not part of the State (also known as the first sector), nor are they part of the private sector (also known as the second sector), they originate in civil society and are based on voluntary work (they are part of the third sector, which is made up of institutions non-profit); have private resources for public purposes. The characteristic of OSFL is its social purpose, that is, to benefit society. These organizations cannot generate profits, and if they do, they must reinvest it all in the social activities they provide. The main objective of these organizations is to obtain effective results in their actions in the communities. There are other features that will be covered throughout this work. This work proposes, initially, to discuss the issue of the third sector, focusing its attention on the category of NGOs, based on the literature review, and then those responsible for the management of an NGO were interviewed to identify their forms of Fundraising, and management of financial resources. as well as their ways of ensuring sustainability. Entities of this nature must have, in addition to an adequate structure, a pre-defined action strategy, based on full knowledge of the characteristics and contingencies of the operating environment, in addition to developing mechanisms in the search for self-sustainability. The OSFL management process is very complex, a factor that explains why the management models used in other sectors are only partially applicable in these organizations, requiring the development of specific management technologies for these institutions. The chosen institution was Associação PROGRESSO, a non-governmental organization that operates mainly in the areas of training for self-employment, education, micro-finance and health in the provinces of Cabo Delgado and Niassa.
