Abstract
This study analyzes the normative dimensions of certifications given by the government to civil society organizations of public interest. It also concisely explores the contextual complexities that permeate the contemporary. The certifications in discussion are those at the federal level: Civil Society Organization of Public Interest (OSCIP), Federal Public Utility (UPF), and Certification of Beneficent Organization of Social Assistance (CEBAS). An exploratory and documental research study was developed mainly drawing from the analysis of laws as well as scientific and governmental reports regarding the subject. By drawing a normative-contextual overview of the certifications, the study provides a practical-reflexive approach for scholars, practitioners and others interested in civil society organizations. Since a bill about a novel legal instrument in relations between government and non-profit organizations - the Fostering and Collaboration Term - is currently ready for approval by the Legislative under the aegis of a new regulatory framework, consequences to the current system of certifications discussed throughout this study are expected.
Keywords: Civil society organizations. State. Public certifications.
