| Description | Due to their heavy dependence on financial support from the public sector and close links to a wide range of government policies, non-profit organisations are becoming increasingly state-oriented. Although economic experts have striven to empirically test whether public funding of the non-profit sector supports private philanthropy or, on the contrary, crowds it out, there is no comprehensive research of this type within the Czech Republic. In connection with these blank areas in theories on the Czech non-profit sector, we pose the following question: How does public financing of non-profit organisations influence the amount of private donations that these organisations receive? To answer this question, we conducted our own research (n = 483). The results demonstrate a crowding-out effect for public resources but not for other types of financing sources, such as revenues from the organisation’s own activity and commercial revenues. |
