Private Foundations and Non-Profit Associations in Brazil
Private Foundations and Non-Profit Associations in Brazil - 2005
In 2004, IBGE conducted a partnership with the Institute of Applied Economic Research – IPEA, the Brazilian Association of Non-Governmental Organizations – ABONG and the Group of Institutes, Foundations and Enterprises – GIFE with the objective of listing the universe of the civil society organizations which fulfill simultaneously, the criteria of non-profit institutionalized, self-managed and voluntary entities. For so, a proposal of identification and classification of these entities was developed based on the Central Registry of Enterprises of IBGE referent to 2002, having as objective the construction of internationally comparable statistics.
Giving continuity to this project, IBGE publishes the results of the most recent study about the issue, in which it tried to observe the changes which occurred in this important segment of the civil society in recent years, highlighting the period 2002-2005.
In this publication are presented the methodological procedures as well as the results concerning the characterization of these institutions: quantitative, location, period of existence, size, developed activity, number of employees and their remuneration, besides analytical information about their growth between 1996 and 2005. It includes a glossary with the terms and concepts considered relevant for the understanding of the results.
A CD-ROM is enclosed in the publication that contains, besides information by Major Regions and Federative Units released in the printed volume, data about the Brazilian municipalities.
The set of this information provides important contribution to enlarge the knowledge of the profile, dimensions and dynamics of this expressive segment of the social sector.
