Not only the state plays a part in the social field through its institutions or established organizations, but also non-governmental organizations, which are significant actors in the field of social services. The main mission of non-governmental organizations in the social field is to provide services in the context of Act No. 108/2006 Coll. on Social Services. Provided social services are divided into social consultancy, social care services, and social prevention services. The kinds of services provided free of charge which can be found in the law are, for example, social consultancy, early intervention, emergency assistance, follow-up care, social activation services for families with children, seniors, people with disabilities and outreach programmes. Most non-governmental organizations in the Czech Republic providing social services finance their operations from multiple sources, such as grant procedures of ministries, regions, municipalities, the EU, endowment entities and also from incomes from their own activities. This diploma thesis aimed to ascertain in what ways and from what sources non-governmental organizations in the South Bohemian Region fund social services which are provided to clients free of charge by law. At the same time, it was also important to identify the possibilities of financing social services provided free of charge by the South Bohemian Region. A qualitative research strategy was used for the research, along with the method of questioning and furthermore, the analysis of relevant documents was carried out. The research part provides a detailed view of social services and their significance within the South Bohemian Region and gives an insight into the matters of financing non-governmental organizations providing social services free of charge in the territory of the South Bohemian Region.
