charity-good works Explanation: I don't think you should understand benéfico here as beneficient, but rather as charity. I think 'charity-good works' would reflect the pejorative bias of the wording |

charitable and assistance organisations Explanation: You are right to be at a dead loss. The lines between these two types of organisations are blurred at best. Benéficas are charitable organisations, they have fund raisers with the community of means to carry on charitable programmes and have some programmes of their own. Assistenciales are organisations that set up and manage programmes to well, assist the residents of a community in times disaster or to fend for themselves, develop new skills, provide child care and the like. They often receive monies from the benéficos as well as the government for their work. It all depends, Regards, F. Ref. experience |

The title "Charitable/Aid organizations" was found at Explanation: the website below, but another good one was "charitable" paired with "endowment" to characterize said organizational types. I've posted a historical explanation in another answer (conflictivista) which relates to this. Franco liked giving handouts, the Church advocated charity, and it was a way of keeping the "rojos" from recruiting too many adherents. Reference: http://purplehat.homestead.com/Activate.html |

benevolent aid Explanation: "Benevolent aid/assistance" -- fits into a paradigm with such terms as "benevolent society" (i.e. a kind of charitable welfare organization) and "mutual aid" (as opposed to one-way benevolent aid). |

charity and beneficence Explanation: This is in the 1st ref given, also public charities + beneficence, social assistance and public charities. It's a translation, but it does give an explanation of the welfare state in Spain, which you may find useful. The Constitution marked the definitive transformation of a system based on the principles of Charity to public welfare systems of an autonomous territorial nature in which the protection of children has gradually become a specialised social service, to be provided obligatorily by the competent services of the Public Administrations.
