Abstract: Abstract The design of the welfare state in Spain and the practice of outsourcing the management of social protection services for immigrants and development cooperation programs have had a structuring effect on the Spanish third sector over the last two decades. As non-governmental development organizations (NGDOs) have taken on a new role and new actors like immigrants’ associations have appeared on stage, a spotlight has been thrown on NGDOs’ operational capacity both inside and outside our borders. The objective of this article, which is based on the findings of quantitative research conducted in Spain, is to present and analyze the main factors affecting NGDOs’ internal, external, and relational governance, to assess the extent of their connection to the realm of immigration and its actors, their role in migration matters, and the opportunities for maximizing the scope of third-sector organizations’ actions.
