Abstract
ABSTRACT Anti-democratic governments are wary of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) owing to the latter’s important role in ensuring that the government acts according to public interest. Unfortunately, some governments are trying to hinder the functions of NGOs, creating an unfavorable image for them and causing a lack of trust. Despite their poor financial condition and strong dependence on state aid, Polish NGOs play their democratic role by supporting society in various areas. This study finds that the NGO values of openness, tolerance and selflessness prevent NGOs from having an unfavorable and untrustworthy image in the eyes of the public and the media.
