In central European countries, the non-profit sectors have quickly developed with support from the US and western European countries since the systematic transformation in the late 1980s. The project will study and analyze the mechanisms of the development of non-profit sectors in central European countries in order to transfer their experience to countries that surround them and wish to develop domestic non-profit sectors. The results of the study and analysis will be disclosed at international meetings. In addition to the above activities, the implementing NPO will collect information on donation systems and behavior in central European and surrounding countries, and the information will be disseminated on the website of the implementing.
