Summary/Abstract: The difficulties to financing the social entreprises in Bulgaria have resulted from the nature of these organizations and the lack of legislative framework. The European funds, programmes and initiatives have become the major funding source for the social entreprises. At the same time the funding on national level remains limited. In this regard, the main goal of this paper is to analyse the financing opportunities and outline perspectives to finding new solutions.
