Summary/Abstract: The subject of the research undertaken in the article is an attempt to describe the size and differentiation of non-returnable aid from the European Union funds used by local government units in Poland and to determine their relationship with (impact on) the amount of investment expenditures of these units. The authors used methods typical of social sciences, such as the methods of empirical cognition. Correlation and regression analyses were used to demonstrate the impact of EU funds on the amount of investment expenditure of municipalities. The results of the analyses indicate a significantly diversified use of EU non-returnable funds between municipalities and a varied relationship between the amount of EU funds obtained and the amount of investment expenditures by type of municipality. The relationship between the analysed variables is visible in the case of urban municipalities and cities with powiat status, as opposed to rural and urban-rural municipalities.
