Financing Croatian sport organisations in time of economic crisis

The topic of sport financing has always attracted the attention of researchers, as well as other stakeholders in sport, mainly public. This is mostly due to a fact that the majority of sport organisations in Europe, and Croatia as well, are non-profit organisations. Also, the abundance of financing sources represents a significant factor for the development of sport, especially top level sport in all European union countries, which is of interest for every country. This topic receives special attention in time of crisis, when governments are faced with budget cuts, and private sector thrives to minimize its business expenses. Consequently, sport organisations are affected by these circumstances. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the structure of incomes (and expenses) in Croatian sport organisations in the period of 2008 till 2013 in order to see which sources of financing are most affected by economic crisis.
