Those changes consist in adaptation of business behaviour which bases on stability of NGOs’ financing and possibility to realise the social mission more efficiently. This process is mostly described as economisation of non-profit organisations and it arouses a lot of controversy among numerous researchers. It became an incentive of development for non-governmental organisations as those entities which run a business not for profit but to fulfil goals in social domain. The realisation of those goals, apart from paid activity, requires numerous support sources which determine the scale of a social effect.
