| Description | Non-profit institutions are characterized by their multi-source funding. There are numerous publications on this issue, including discussions on the public financing impact on the NPO behaviour. The question is to what extent do the Czech official data capture the financial flows to NPI and their real structure. The aim of this paper is to point to insufficient state of knowing in the context of the CR, especially concerning the structure of revenues of NPOs. After we explored these absent places in the realm of existing data on non-profit sector, we designed a project proposal for mapping the scope and structure of all resources of the Czech NPI. Our paper also introduces in short the main objectives and research strategy of our survey-project which will allow us to test theories on the ratio of public and private revenue of NPOs. The project has a potential to become a significant contribution to understanding the role public income play in total income of NPOs. |
