Abstract
The article concerns the impact of stakeholders on project management in non-profit organizations. This issue was presented from the perspective of the organization’s project management maturity. It seems that this issue has not yet been adequately researched by scientists. Contribution was made to the theory of project management by highlighting the need to adjust the level of project management maturity and stakeholder management maturity, and by recommending areas for further research. It has been noted that stakeholder management and risk assessment are just as important as the issues of financing projects and planning their purpose, scope and selection of project teams. The conclusions were based on the analysis of the results of empirical research. The empirical material came from a study based on a sample of 93 non-profit organizations operating in Poland.

Summary
Sustainability 2021, 13, 8899. https://In recent years, in the area of project management, it was observed that the success of a project is influenced by people who are members of project teams, steering committees or representatives of the sponsor or client of the project, and by stakeholders [1,2,3,4](pp. 173–184). A project, regardless of its character, is always carried out in a specific environment. It is shaped by the stakeholders of a given project who influence it and its management team in various ways. It can be concluded that competent stakeholder engagement is one of the key success factors in project management [5]. This is evident in non-profit organizations’ projects, which, apart from typical project features, are distinguished by high dependence on the environment, cooperation with entities in the environment and partnership [6,7]. Non-profit organizations have a better chance to achieve their social goals stemming from the needs of stakeholders [8,9,10]
