Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to analyse the issues related to the operations of contemporary NGOs on the basis of the question as to how the development of information technology affects their operations in Poland. The author posits a hypothesis, according to which, by making available hitherto unknown communication tools, the Internet has contributed to the professionalisation of NGOs’ activities. However, the conclusions stemming from the analyses point out that, as yet, the new technologies are underutilised by these organisations in their work.
