This paper briefly analyzes the legal framework for civil society organizations (CSOs) in light of the needs fot its empowerment or promotion and on the basis that their support is an essential component of the system and the system of democratic coexistence, seeks to identify proposals for public funding to ensure its stability and development and cooperation with other sectors of society. It is stated that while the law 20.500 of 2011 on Associations and Citizen Participation in Public Administration made progress in incorporating public interest organizations, establishing spaces for these organizations to be linked to ministries, municipalities and services, and finally the Act created a fund for the “strengthening of organizations of public interest”, aimed at contributing to organizational sustainability of CSOs, the Chilean legal institutions has important deficiencies in transfers and franchises, devices that are projected as the main sources for CSOs resources in Chile.
