Abstract
The article offers the brief historical excursion of legal institutionalization of civil society in USA. The article concludes that existent organizational forms and practices of activity of noncommercial sector are the result of combination between embedded traditions of philanthropy and civil engagement in American society and the state policy to support some directions of activity of non-profit sector. The American government made use of different tools to turn voluntary activity and philanthropy funds to major public spheres in various ages. Now the American society is in the process of permanent experimentation with the legal form and status of non-profit sector’s organizations which would able to absorb advantages of all three major sectors: the state, the business and the society.
