Summary/Abstract: This article surveys the activity of nonprofit organizations in Hungary. Their structure and function have changed radically since the change of regime. Today the activity of nonprofit organizations comprises several fields from creating new jobs to culture. Consequently, they are actively present at the life of society. Their economic force has increased to a large extent since the beginning of the 1990s. They play an important role in fighting against poverty, overcoming inequality of chances caused by cultural differences. They encourage the fostering of cultural traditions as well. The strengthening of globalization means a great challenge to nonprofit organizations. Their activity plays a great part in shaping local communities, protecting human and civil rights and building up a strong social control.
