Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is presenting selected issues related to the methodology of measuring entrepreneurship in non-profit organisations. Based on literature studies, some tools dedicated to measuring entrepreneurship in business organisations were presented, and some specific characteristics of entrepreneurship in non-profit organisations which must be taken into account when designing a research tool were pointed. The potential problems associated with comparative studies were identified, among others: different perception of managers in commercial and non-profit organisations and various objects of their activity. The ways to solve these problems were suggested, like including quantitative indicators and choosing organisations acting in specific sectors.
