These organizations are challenged to keep their activities and achieve organizational sustainability basically gathering founds from third parties, which are derived from donations, partnerships, agreements, among others. In this sense, this study aimed to identify the level of Organizational Social Capital (OSC) of social organizations that participated of an interorganizational project developed in the Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. In this regard, it was conducted a quantitative survey using cluster analysis and non-parametric tests such as Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney. The main contributions of this study are the classification of 3 groups with different levels of CSO, and the reflection on the motivations and reasons for the existence of these three different groups regarding level of CSO.
