Explanation:
It doesn't really matter what it stands for, because it's part of the registered legal name, which should never be translated.

Asociación sin fines de lucro


Explanation:
Yes, it literally means Asociacion Civil, but its legal meaning (at least in Venezuela) as a Non-profit Organization. For example charitable organizations, Clubs, etc. are A.C.
In this case refers to a a Reseach Institute as a Non-profit organization.
