The article provides an analysis of the formation of the social services market in the Volgograd region since the adoption of a federal law that introduced fundamental changes in the field of social services, allowing non-profit organizations to act as full participants in the social services market. A review of domestic publications addressing key issues is presented: economic and managerial aspects of access of non-profit sector organizations to the social services market, infrastructure support, the formation of a state support system, successful regional practices. The role of non-governmental suppliers in the social services market is shown, the specifics of the modern institutional structure of the social services market are described. The current state of the social services market is characterized, the data of the report of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia for 2018 on the implementation by the constituent entities of the Russian Federation of measures to ensure access to non-profit organizations to budgetary funds are presented. The main quantitative indicators of the social services market of the Volgograd region are highlighted. The results of a sociological study showed that the majority of the population does not use the services of non-profit organizations, the popularity of their services is low, and free services are most in demand. The possibilities of non-profit organizations when entering the social services market of the Volgograd region were identified: extensive experience in providing services, the availability of proven social technologies, targeted nature of assistance, customer focus. Despite the creation of conditions for expanding the access of non-governmental organizations to budget financing, there are barriers to accessing the social services market: delayed cost recovery when services are completed, economically unjustified tariffs, insufficient compensation to non-state suppliers, unnecessarily bureaucratic reporting procedure of non-profit organizations for services provided. To develop the demand and supply of non-profit organizations, it is necessary to inform the beneficiaries in more detail about the quality of the services provided, tariffs, increase the level of public confidence, introduce successful experience in other regions. Creating favorable social and economic conditions, consolidating the efforts of all interested parties can create an effective system of social services in the Volgograd region on the principles of interagency cooperation.

Depth Interviews

The study investigates the changes taking place in the domestic market of social services expressed in the appearance of "new players" in the form of socially oriented non-profit organizations (SO NPO) within its field in addition to public institutions for social protection and social services of the population. The authors identify the advantages and disadvantages of SO NGO compared to government organizations and social services, describe the processes of shadow economy expansion to the social services market and formation of regional "quasi-markets". The empirical part of the article is based on the data of two studies conducted in the form of indepth interviews. First, with experts on "Practices of interaction and prospects of cooperation between NPO and government organizations of social services in the Volgograd region", N = 52 (27 representatives of the public sector, 25 representatives of NPO, January-March 2018). Then with recipients of social services from government organizations and clients of SO NPO on the theme "Availability and quality of paid and free social services provided in the Volgograd region for retiring aged women" N = 46, 60 years and older (21 people-clients of SO NPO, 25 people-recipients of social services. services, October 2017 – January 2018). The analysis of these in-depth interviews with experts allowed to draw the following conclusions. There is a duplication of functions of the organizations of public and non-public sectors providing social services to the population. The activities of modern SO NPO operating in the social services market contain innovative and commercial components. The expansion of the "platform" of the social services market does not yet lead to full competition between organizations, encouraging them to constantly improve the quality of services. The analysis of in-depth interviews with recipients of social services from government organizations and customers of SO NPO showed that the commercialization of activities of SO NPO does not make social services more accessible to those who are in need of them. There is the necessity of changes in the way social services are being provided in the Volgograd region as they do not meet the needs of women of retirement age, do not take into account their level of income and material well-being.

The purpose of this chapter is to present the application of Balanced Scorecard among non-governmental organizations. The limitation to this type of non-profit organizations is justified by their specificity in respect of such institutions as governmental agencies. Notwithstanding the fact that the main narration is subordinated to NGOs the text also contains references to other organizations. The premise of placing these threads is the fact that the literature on this subject, in relation to the use of BSC in non-profit organizations, includes them together. The chapter ends with discussion of basic benefits concerning the application of BSC in non-governmental organizations.

The Republic

Religious non-governmental organizations (RNGOs) and philanthropic activities<br />in Indonesia have a long history. They existed prior to the creation of the nation<br />state. Social, political and economic changes in this country have influenced the<br />development of non-profit organizations for more than sixty years after the Inde-pendence of the Republic Indonesia in 1945. Modernization and development<br />projects during the President Suharto era influenced the development of Non-governmental organizations (NGOs). In more recent years, RNGOs have largely<br />developed as a response to the socio-economic crisis after the downfall of Presi-dent Suharto regime. Discovering the dynamics of RNGOs in a broader context of<br />non-profit organizations in Indonesia provides insights into the strengths and<br />weaknesses of philanthropic activism in recent years. An historical overview of<br />non-profit organizations, legal structures, functions, and financial resources are<br />among the themes that are described in this paper.<br />Organisasi Agama Non Pemerintah (RNGOs) dan kegiatan filantropi di Indonesia<br />memiliki sejarah yang panjang.

Dalam tahun-tahun terakhir, RNGOs sebagian<br />besar telah dikembangkan sebagai tanggapan terhadap krisis sosial-ekonomi<br />setelah jatuhnya rezim Presiden Soeharto. Menemukan dinamika RNGOs dalam<br />konteks yang lebih luas dari organisasi nirlaba di Indonesia memberikan wawasan<br />ke dalam kekuatan dan kelemahan dari aktivisme filantropi dalam beberapa tahun<br />terakhir.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a massive impact on everyone on the world since early 2020. The situation in Turkey is not different than the rest of the world. In the time of a pandemic, it is important, for everyone's safety, to identify ways to deliver social services without in-person contact; therefore, organizations must adopt models for remote and digitalized social service provision which can minimize risks to the health and safety of both for social service-receivers and providers. In this respect, this chapter has got three foci: the effects of COVID-19 outbreak on the social service-providing non-governmental organizations in the context of migration in Turkey, the needs of the asylum seekers as social service-receivers, and the digital measures of the non-governmental organizations in social service provision as a response to COVID-19 outbreak.

The state of Jammu and Kashmir has misplaced its identity. The 1947 partition of the country has impressed long-lasting bitterness in the minds of people and draws a separating line (LOC) along the borders. It is definitely a hectic task to set up peace in the disturbed regions of the Jammu and Kashmir, but in no way outside the limits of opportunity. The civil societies and NGOs, being neutral in character, can play a peaceful role in maintaining peace and establishing of assurance among the people of the valley. NGOs are non-profit making agencies that are constituted with a dream by a group of same minded people, dedicated for the uplift of the poor, marginalized, unprivileged, underprivileged, impoverished, and downtrodden and the needy and they are closer and accessible to the target groups. Flexibility in administration, faster in decision making, timely in action and facilitating the people towards self-sufficiency ensuring their fullest participation in the whole process of development. The achievements and victory of NGOs in various fields and the brilliant work done by them in specific areas are no doubt an incredible task that has helped to meet the changing basic needs of the social system. Still, in spite of its achievements in various fields, NGOs are facing different types of problems which differ from organization to organization, region to region and from place to place.  In this position, the present paper attempts to discuss some of the general problems faced by the NGOs and to provide some remedies to overcome these problems.

The article is devoted to the problem of social work with the elderly, which requires the study and determination of the features of such work for various modern social services. The relevance of the topic of the article is due to the growing number of clients of social services among the elderly. Previous studies of the social needs of this category of the population predict worsening a number of problems due to the shortcomings of state social security. The solution to the problem, according to the authors of the article, is related to the activities of non-governmental organizations that can provide social services to the elderly. In particular, the article describes the experience of a charitable foundation that operates according to an atypical scheme of aid organization. Not through the provision of funds, but primarily through the implementation of their own projects with the support of other social services of various forms. The article discusses how the needs and characteristics of the elderly can be taken into account in practical social work with clients. The authors rely on the materials of their own research, which was conducted by case study from April to October 2019 on the experience of the Kharkiv Charitable Foundation «Social service of assistance». The article states that the main directions of social protection of the elderly in modern conditions should be not only to improve their difficult financial situation, provide a sufficient level of medical care but also to improve the psychological and emotional state of people. The results obtained by researchers can contribute to the dissemination of successful experience of social work with the elderly; scientific analysis of problematic issues and obstacles in the activities of the charity fund with the elderly; optimization of further work of funds and other social services in this direction. In addition, according to the authors, the hypothesis of indifferent attitude of society to the problems of the elderly needs to be studied scientifically, because this factor significantly hinders the implementation of social assistance to this group of clients by various social services, including charitable foundations.
