State financial support of non-profit organisations as one of regional sustainable development foundations

Abstract

One of the important factors of the region’s sustainable development is state financial support of socially orientated non-profit organisations (SONPO). For many years, government structures have been channelling significant funds to support non-profit organisations in order to develop civil society and solve social problems. With the increasing volume of government support and the diversity of relevant programmes at all levels - federal, regional, and municipal - there is a need to develop a methodology to assess the effectiveness of these programmes. This study analyses the volume, structure and features of state support to NCOs as a basis for sustainable development of the city of Moscow (Russian Federation).
