The article attempts to outline specific features of the development strategy of modern social and religious organizations on the example of Caritas Ukraine as a «complex organization». By applying organizational (A. Etziony) and network (M. Newman) analysis, using data leitmotiv expert interviews the article describes practices of establishment of partnership networks of social and religious organizations. Benefits and risks of such kind organizations are evaluated. In this context, the network should be viewed as a structure that is formed between individuals or organizations, and displays various connections between them.Three types of partnership networks are detected, namely, networks of target interaction, networks of horizontal internal interaction and networks of horizontal external interaction. It is emphasized that the development of partnership networks of social and religious organizations is an actual strategy and a prerequisite for their development.
