Abstract

Introduction: The article discusses the importance of designing nonprofit scientific associations, highlighting the difference between foundations and corporations, and provides a framework for developing resilient, adaptive NGOs committed to their social objectives.
Method: A reflective analysis of the regulatory and conceptual framework for establishing nonprofit scientific associations, comparing foundations and corporations, exploring a social impact business model, and offering recommendations to strengthen innovation and democratic governance in these organizations.
Results: The development of a nonprofit Scientific Civil Association involves three key stages: defining its organizational identity, selecting a committed board of directors, and designing a social impact business model. These elements, along with proper legal and fiscal structuring, ensure its viability, innovation, and commitment to its social objectives. 
Conclusions: This procedure guides the creation of resilient Scientific Civil Associations by differentiating between foundations and corporations, promoting democratic structures, and utilizing the Canvas model for social impact, ensuring legal compliance, innovation, and lasting impact.
