This paper aims to analyze changes in the organizational culture of nonprofit organizations (NPOs) to achieve financial sustainability, from the context of NPOs in Brazil and the discussion of the case study of two NPOs, INVAR and Laboridade. The research was based on the constructivist view, as proposed by Stake ( 2005) and the deductive method in the level of organizational analysis,, and the analysis was based on a contextual approach in order to identify and exploit patterns that may be recurring (FISCHER, 2002b;PETTIGREW, 2007), as the formation of interorganizational alliances and partnerships (FISCHER, 2002a). It is apparent that both organizations proved to be in the process of adapting, but they still act in a reactive way towards changes and transformations required by the context. Tied to an outdated way of obtaining resources, NPOs see the need for change, but their biggest challenge is to identify opportunities.
