by means of instrumental relationships related with its assistance or cultural operations

Instrumental relationships are based on what people can do for us - and what we can do for them - in particular situations. In this respect, instrumental relationships are often characterised as being rational, calculated, relationships that are largely devoid of the emotion associated with affective relationships.

"tráfico" in financial contexts just means operations

may associate via (organizational) linkages/links related to its human service & cultural activities

Possible different wording, in case it fits your target text. I agree with the other suggestions that this is what 'trafico' must be meat to imply in this context.

there are not many instances of this phrase

tráfico s. m.
1 Circulación de vehículos por una vía pública o una carretera. SIN tránsito.
2 Comercio o negocio, en especial el que se hace con mercancías ilegales: tráfico de obras de arte.
3 Comunicación y movimiento de personas, equipajes o mercancías: el puerto de Algeciras tiene mucho tráfico.
Note from asker:
Yes, I'm pretty sure that "trafico" has the meaning of activity; I think i've seen it used this way in the past. As for the rest of the phrase...?
