Non-profit organizations and their networking

   Aim. The presented study aims to analyze the current state and development trends of socially oriented non-profit organizations at the regional level and to summarize the innovative practice of interaction between public administration, the business, and the population in solving the problems of social development.
   Tasks. The authors assess the importance of non-profit organizations in solving the problems of socio-economic development; analyze the quantitative characteristics of non-profit organizations in Russia at the national and regional levels (through the example of the Perm region); highlight the specific features of socially oriented non-profit organizations; provide recommendations for the development of non-profit organizations in the context of solving common problems of socio-economic development.
   Methods. This study uses the methods of analysis and synthesis, graphical interpretation of statistics, and approaches to implementing management decisions of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation associated with supporting the development of non-profit organizations.
   Results. In the context of crisis development, which has been manifesting systematically over the past few years, it is necessary to mobilize additional resources in order to solve urgent problems of public policy. One such resource that is not fully used in Russia is non-profit organizations, particularly socially oriented non-profit organizations. Statistics show that they are numerous and widespread in all regions of the Russian Federation. Since their activities are focused on solving socially significant tasks, they should be more actively involved in the implementation of various state programs, which, in turn, would justify government support for the activities of these organizations. The most successful can partially self-finance through the implementation of business networking, which is inherent, for example, in professional sports clubs. Therefore, government support for them should be expanded not only in terms of providing traditional financial, administrative, legal, and other assistance, but also from the perspective of the government creating favorable institutional conditions for the formation and development of networking between non-profit organizations.
   Conclusions. The conducted study shows a promising outlook for the development of socially oriented non-profit organizations in the Russian Federation in terms of completing the main objectives of state policy. The results of the analysis of trends in the development of these organizations through the example of the Perm region can be useful in the innovative practice of interaction between stakeholders in solving problems of social development throughout the country. The efficiency of business networking with the participation of government bodies, the business, and the population, which is forming around large socially oriented non-profit organizations, can serve as a basis for the development of new conceptual solutions related to the development of society from the strategic perspective.
