at the local level. These are services that, in addition to NGOs, are also provided by
public institutions, public enterprises, etc. Financing NGOs provides services that
benefit the municipality or its residents, thereby implementing the municipality's
policies and vision.

connection to the municipality, their main characteristics, legal forms of operation,
taxation, etc., in the theoretical part. It particularly focuses on their sources of funding,
