Daryl Upsall gives a very interesting overview of the Spanish nonprofit sector in his article “Spain: opportunity, growth and challenges for the third sector”. He briefly looks at the history of the sector and discusses its structure and the way in which the public have been engaging with it. He examines the Fundación Lealtad model, which gives ‘legitimacy’ to only 135 non-profit organisations out of the 260,000 registered and discusses the need for more transparency, oversight and professionalism of the growing Spanish nonprofit sector to avoid the consequences of corruption and scandal.
