FINANCING ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS IN REPUBLIC OF CROATIA

Fundraising is a problem not only for profit but also for non-profit organizations. Low historical tradition of civil society in Croatia is the cause of the underdevelopment of civil society in relation to other European countries. The development of the non-profit sector and non-profit organizations is depending on state development, economy, social, legal and legislative system. In addition to external factors, internal factors of one non-profit organization influence its development and success. The aim of this paper is to look at the problem of financing environmental organizations from the internal aspect. Results arising from conducted survey in 2014 indicate a lack of transparency of ecological organizations, poor correlation of these organizations through social networks and organizations and poor response to public tenders. A major problem of environmental non- profit organizations in Croatia is poor diversification of revenue structures, by which organizations are at high risk of lacking funds.
