Analysis of the current state of non-profit organizations in Russia
The article considers the modern state of non-profit organizations in Russia. There is a demand by the Russian society for non-profit organizations with a social orientation, which is due to a number of unresolved problems that need to be solved. On the basis of the analysis of statistical data, it was concluded that the number of non-profit organizations has increased, as well as allocations from the federal budget for their support in the period 2016-2018. Despite the growing indicators of financing of non-profit organizations, the subjects studied by us are in dire need of money, as most of the grants allocated (74%) is directed to support social initiatives related to patriotic events, support of persons with disabilities, etc. It is proposed to vary the state support of non-profit organizations depending on the degree of transparency of their activities, which can be checked through the public reporting system of SONCO. This will cut off the range of fraudulent organizations and support those public activists who really need it. It has been determined that despite the growth of the "third sector" of the economy, it still does not occupy a serious position in the Russian economy and accounts for about 1% of the GDP of the Russian Federation, which allows to assess the potential of the investigated sector of the economy as sufficiently promising and requiring support from the state.
