Abstract

The non-profit organizations in the economy of any country play a significant role. However, the lack of proper information on the availability of non-profit  organizations, specificity of their activity, in-depth research about the necessity of their creation, the mission of already founded and successfully operating, does not allow to evaluate the role and significance of these organizations, both for society and economy of the country. 

 

The empirical researches, the study of problems will allow to determine the reasons and necessity of creation of non-profit organizations, prospects of their development, role and significance for the civil society in the Baltic States.

 

As an example, was carried out an in-depth analysis of state of non-profit organizations in Estonia, as one of the Baltic States.
