Summary/Abstract: The economic power of non-governmental and non-profit organizations (NGO-NPOs), whether considering the broader or narrower definition of the private non-profit sector, is not very large in comparison with other sectors. The distinguishing characteristic of the non-profit sector is that it exists in areas where common interest is promoted and public services are provided. These areas are less intensive in terms of financial capital, although they depend on human capital. The significance of NPOs lies in activating human capital, generating free voluntary work, creating free non-market production, and producing goods for economically insignificant prices. In 2008–2013, the definition of non-profit organizations developed by the Czech Statistical Office’s Satellite Account of Non profit Institutions (SÚNI) included 13 legal forms. There were 6 legal forms for NGO-NPOs (of which three forms were a mere selection. There were 84,000–127,000 organisations in the Czech Republic in total) for the years 2008–2013. In 2008, there were 66,000 NGO-NPOs. The share of non-profit organizations in GDP (calculated by means of the expenditure method) was 1.6%, in 2008. In 2008–2013, 100,000–105,000 people (full time equivalent) worked for non-profit organisations, i.e. the share in the employment rate was 1.96–2.09 %. Volunteering also played an important role (25,000–27,000 volunteers, full time equivalent).
