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.

The diploma thesis focuses on the topic of lifelong learning of social workers who work in non-governmental non-profit organizations. The aim of this work was to find out what possibilities social workers have with a completed master's degree in the field of lifelong learning. The second important goal was to find out what the social workforce needs for lifelong learning and whether their needs are taken into account in the provision of education. Lifelong learning is an integral part of social work and it is important to take into account the needs of social workers. To achieve these goals, quantitative research was used, which was carried out with the help of a questionnaire survey, which asked a total of 28 questions, some of which were optional. A total of 61 social workers who work in a non-governmental non-profit organization and have a master's degree were contacted. As part of this quantitative research, research was conducted focused only on the South Bohemian Region, where non-governmental non-profit organizations and social workers working in them were found within the register of social service providers. A total of 36 social workers responded to the questionnaire, with the questionnaires being sent twice because unfortunately, the return was very low in the first wave. The data that were subsequently obtained from the questionnaire survey were processed both in Microsoft Excel, but also in R software. From the conducted research it is possible to conclude that social workers are satisfied with the courses offer by their employer. This shows that needs of social workers are both satisfied and motivated. Respondents stated that they regularly receive course offers from their employer. This I consider very important and perspective. This proves that the continuous education of social worker is not happening only because it is required by the government but it is happening because private non-profit organisations support it on their own. Concerning the organization in my data sample I can conclude that the needs of their social workers are taken into account.

Substitute family care is a frequently mentioned topic in the Czech Republic, especially in connection with the high number of children placed in institutional facilities. Foster care, as a one of the forms of substitute family care, was registered within the amendment to the Act on Social and Legal Protection of Children No. 359/1999 Coll. It was in January 2013 and a new concept of support and definition of foster parents' rights and obligations was defined.

This thesis is focused on the relations of competition and cooperation between non-governmental non-profit organizations working with migrants in Prague. Based on interviews with representatives of these organizations and the study of documents, this thesis shows that classical theoretical approaches that deal with interorganizational relationships generally, i.e. those of profitable organizations in the market environment, ignore the specificity of non-profit organizations. Unlike profitable organizations, non-profit organizations primarily do not aim at profit but rather at the mission they were founded for. Classical theories do not reflect this dimension at all. The non-profit organizations working with migrants in Prague not only cooperate but this cooperation is motivated especially by their mission, although they are situated in a highly competitive position because they are situated in the same area, work with the same clients, offer similar services to these clients and are financed from the same sources. Keywords Collaboration, cooperation, competition, co-opetition, inter-organizational relationships, non-governmental non-profit organization, mission, identity

This bachelor thesis deals with an impact of a new Civil Code Act No.89/2012 Coll. On the low-threshold institutions for children and adolescents in the Region of South Bohemia. The theoretical part deals with a classification of a non-state, non-profit making organizations, which is essential for this research. Furthermore, I present basic concepts connected with a low-threshold institution for children and adolescents (LTICHA). Provided services according to valid legislation and their target group are presented here too. I also deal with a problem of a civil society transformation to a chosen legal status. The practical part contains selected targets and survey inquires. In the survey part of the bachelor thesis I used a qualitative construction, a face-to-face method and a half-structured interview technique. The first target was to discover how a LTICHA dealt with new Civil Code (NCC) duties. Furthermore I dealt with the most frequented legislative forms used by the LTICHA. The institutions could choose a legislative status of a voluntary group, institute or public benefit organization. The research target group were the LTICHA in the Region of South Bohemia, which were impacted by a NCC; not every institution had to change its legislative status though. This change excluded the church and religious societies which are subjected to Act No.3/2002 Coll. About churches and religious societies. This legislative status is the most accepted one by the LTICHA and out of 19 institutions in the South of Bohemia, more than one half of these prefer this status. Only those institutions that changed their legislative status from the civil society were contacted. Eventually only three institutions participated in the survey. It appears that these institutions were "forced" to change their legislative status by a new Civil Code as well as to follow its new conditions. The questioned institutions were able to transform their status only with special help.

The bachelor thesis "Charity Projects of Organisations Providing Care for Children with Health Disability in the Region of South Bohemia" deals with those projects that were founded by non-profit organisations and that provide care for children with health disability in the Region of South Bohemia.

Within the bounds of the second research inquiry I find out wheather there is an optimal procedure for the implementation of the charity projects of non-state, non-profit organisations. A qualitative method was used for a research part of this thesis. I used a method of a half-structured interview, a technique of a personal interview. A research group was selected for bringing the research into practice, which includes nine organisations seleceted from non-state, non-profit organisations providing a care for health disabled children in the Region of South Bohemia. It is more difficult for non-state, non-profit organisations it this field to obtain enough finances for providing services and for obtaining necessary aids than for state non-profit organisations because of different ways of fundraising . A non-state, non-profit organisation has several possibilities how to obtain necessary material and non-material sources. There are charity projects that offer means of selfless help; provided they are successful, they help the organisation to obtain necessary sources. It emerged from the research that it was very important for non-state, non-profit organisations to get a multi-source fundraising and supporters of their projects, mainly donors and sponsors, to obtain available care for children with heath disability. On the basis of the research, it is possible to state that non-state, non-profit organisations providing care for children with health disability, implemented many successful projects. The results of this thesis can be used in the way of an informative material for setting a complete view of a solution of the problems of the above mentioned organisations projects.

This bachelor's thesis is called "The role of nongovernmental organisations in helping families looking after children suffering from spinal muscular atrophy." The theoretical part is divided into 5 main chapters. The first chapter defines basic terms: spinal muscular atrophy, classification, diagnosis and basic care of people suffering from spinal muscular atrophy. The second part deals with possible therapies. Particularly about rehabilitation and spa treatment, conservative and operative therapy, alternative treatment and medication, compensatory aids, mainly wheel chairs. This chapter also mentions respiratory, orthotic and physiotherapeutic care. Regarding physiotherapeutic care there are descriptions of: using a ball for massage, ergotherapy, basal stimulation, hydrotherapy and pool, hypotherapy. In the conclusion of this chapter there is a description of the project REaDY (REgistry of muscular DYstrophy). The third chapter is named "The family of a child suffering from spinal muscular atrophy." It seemed important to mention stages of grief parents are going through after their handicapped child was born. The stages were described by a famous Swiss thanatology expert Elizabeth Kübler-Ross. There are recommendations for parents and people taking care of handicapped child at the end of the third chapter. The fourth chapter addresses the upbringing and education of children with spinal muscular atrophy. The intellect of these children is not affected so they can be integrated into nursery, primary and secondary schools attended by unhandicapped children. The last chapter deals with nongovernmental organisations having great social benefit for handicapped people. The practical part of this work has two main goals: to find out what services are offered by nongovernmental organisations to the families of children with spinal muscular atrophy and how are these families satisfied with offered services. The qualitative type of research was used for achieving these goals: the technique of semi-structured interviews. The target set of the research part consisted of workers of nongovernmental organisations specialised in spinal muscular atrophy and the parents of children suffering from it. The interviews were focused on gaining the list of services provided by nongovernmental organisations regarding the caring families. Seven families were asked for participation in this research. Five families agreed to be involved in the interview. The list of provided services makes another part of the research. Therefore a social worker from Arpida (rehabilitation centre for handicapped people) and a special consultant from Kolping Family Smečno were addressed. It was found out that organisations mentioned above provide short-term stays, rehabilitations, ergotherapy, swimming pool, hypotherapy, compensatory aids and consulting. Parents are particularly interested in short-term stays, they can have a rest and an assistant takes care of their child. This service is of utmost importance for parents. It brings both a physical and a psychological relief. Intellect is not affected in children and it is not easy to invent new activities. At the same time the contact with another person is invaluable. There is also a great demand for rehabilitation, which is beneficial and unsubstitutable. Parents say that consulting is also important. The consulting is usually needed for purchases of compensatory aids or integration of children into schools. Almost all parents agreed to be fully satisfied with provided services. One of the respondents would be more satisfied if the short-term stays took place more frequently, not only during the summer. Concerning financial issue the basic income comes from social services The results of this work can be used to get an overview of services provided by nongovernmental organisations and to find out how satisfied those users of the services are.

This bachelor thesis is named Cooperation of the Social Affairs Department of the Municipality City České Budějovice with Non-governmental Organizations. It deals with issues of mutual cooperation of contractors and providers of social services for professional social counseling in the administrative district of České Budějovice. The aim of the thesis is to map out mutual cooperation of the above mentioned entities. The most important group in the process of providing social services are users who are informed about their rights and duties, they understand their situation and are able to contribute actively to its solution. Therefore I chose the first research question directed to this triad member. The result of this question will determine whether the social affairs department of the City Council of České Budějovice processed information system for users of professional social counseling. In the second research question I identified providers among nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to determine whether they are actively informed about the possibilities of mutual cooperation with the administrative district of Ceske Budejovice. For the practical part of the thesis I used qualitative research. For the actual collection of information I used the method of semi structured interview, personal interview technique. For the realization of the research two research files were selected. The first set consisted of three communication partners from the administrative district of České Budějovice engaged in cooperation with NGOs, community planning and leadership of the working group "Consulting". For the second research group there were selected communication partners from eight NGOs that have registered social services of professional social counseling in the Register of Social Services Providers in the České Budějovice district. This was an adequate number of respondents for selected qualitative research, the theoretical saturation was fulfilled. A cyclical, continuous process of community planning leads to meet the targeted goals of the entities. The process allows you to define and subsequently to support the provision of social services. This purpose is fulfilled by community planning documents, the "Development plan of social services of the Czech Republic for 2013 2018" and "The action plan of the Development plan for the year 2015", which take into account the current status, needs, resources, trends and other relevant factors, based on regular monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of each of the planned measures.. Equal partners of the contracting authority are the providers of social services from NGOs, who are part of the entire community process. The contracting authority in cooperation with them stems from the concept of social services and it also uses a wide area of tools, so that the party interested on the provision of social services is comprehensively informed. Due to the fact that the providers of NGOs are active collaborators in the field of planning of social services, they are members of the various advisory groups; they have a representative in the social commission of the city and shall cooperate in the issuance of community documents. Therefore they have a comprehensive look at all the achievable and the real possibilities of where, how and what is the most appropriate way to inform interested parties about the range of their provided social services.On the basis of the research it can be stated that the users have many options how to learn about the activities of the contracting entity and the individual providers in the case of interest for the provision of social service. The results of the work can be used to gain a comprehensive perspective on the cooperation problem and the possible practical use of information generated by research interviews with the sponsor and the provider of social services.

In my thesis "Recruitment and education for fellow workers in non- profit organization" are identified problems with recruitment, for example difficult choice of the most suitable candidate, acquisition financial resources for salaries, high turnover of volunteers, difficult cooperation with media when recruiting. Between proposed solutions belong cooperation with communities, which connect experts who help non-profit organizations for free. I also recommend actively working on PR to change perception of volunteering. The work also includes identifying themes for public to engagement of non-profit orgazations. Most often stated: sense and good feeling, acquisition of experiences, identification with a goal and mission of non-profit organization. On the contrary, as the reasons for noncooperation with non-profit organization it was mentioned low wage assessment, lack of information about options of volunteering and lack of time. In education of non-profit organizations I recommend use more external volunteers from said community and focus on practical teaching with utilizing experiential education. The goal is to improve adoption education of employee and thereby increase his efficiency.

The target of my thesis is the evaluation of the effectiveness of investments in human capital in the selected non-governmental organization (NGO). I achieve that through the simple questionnaire, which shows the number of employees of the organization, the way and the size of investment and also the evaluation of their utility. The selected NGO is compared with another 2 similar organizations in the table. The issue of the non-for-profit sector is for most people almost unknown. Even the mere inclusion into the national economy can be often an unsolvable problem, because borders between the for-profit and non-for-profit sector are often mutually intersected. Today's trend is that the greatest advantage is the human capital. The selected organization is analyzed mainly in human resources their financing, education and motivation. The conclusion of my thesis advises that organization, how to more effectively invest to their employees.

Population is growing older, people are reaching higher age, consequently, there is nowadays increasing interest in social care services for older people. Recently, there has been growing discussion on reaching higher standards of such care that would have a home like character rather than that of a hospital institution. Care home staff should make considerable effort to keep seniors involved in our society as well as provide encouragement for care home residents and offer them the possibility of leisure activities. The thesis deals with quality of life of seniors in residential institutions from a view of a semi budgetary institution and a non profit organisation. The aim of the thesis is to map as well as compare quality of life of residents in selected nursing homes for seniors in the Vysočina region with the status of semi budgetary organisation and non profit institution established by the church. The research was conducted in four nursing homes for seniors in the Vysočina region using the qualitative semi-structured interview with the addition of participant observation of activation activities. The interviews were held in a semi budgetary organisation nursing home for seniors in Havlíčkův Brod in an institution called Havlíčkův Brod Social Services and in House for Seniors Havlíčkův Brod. The research was also carried out in the following non profit organisations in the town of Humpolec in a nursing home for seniors called Home of Blahoslavné Bronislavy and in the town of Mylibořice where a nursing house for seniors called Diakonie ČCE is situated. In relation with the qualitative research, three hypotheses were formulated and addressed by analysing the answers. Main hypothesis Is the quality of life of seniors in nursing homes increasing with the increase of social activation activities? Sub hypotheses 1) Are residents in institutions established by non-governmental organisations more satisfied with the quality of life then residents in semi budgetary organisations? 2) Is the range of leisure activities in nursing houses of non-governmental institutions different from that of semi budgetary organisations?

The theme of the completed diploma thesis is A Marketing Strategy for Protected Work Places of NGOs in South Bohemia. In the theoretical part I focus on the definition and meaning of marketing, stategic management, the marketing process, the marketing environment, the buying behavior of consumers, marketing research. In the next section I describe the legislative basis for protected work places and I name protected work places of NGOs in South Bohemia. Then I describe the employment of people with disabilities, and I attempt to define the concept of a non-profit organization. For completion purposes, I briefly define the term South Bohemia. In the practical part I deal with the results of the research and draft a proposal for marketing strategies for the sale of products from protected work places. The practical part relates to the main goals of the diploma thesis. The first goal of the work was to map out a marketing strategy for protected work places of NGOs in South Bohemia. The second goal was to map out the opinions of the wider public in relation to the purchase of products from protected work places. The first stated hypothesis was: Protected work places of NGOs in South Bohemia do not optimally use the tools of the marketing mix to sell their products. The second stated hypothesis was: A marketing strategy has an effect on the sale of products in protected work places of NGOs in South Bohemia. I chose quantitative research with subsequent statistical data processing. The data was collected through standardized interview techniques and surveys. In both cases, the improbability of sampling techniques was used. The basic collection in terms of quantitative research was the management of protected work places of NGOs in South Bohemia and the wider public. Through standardized telephone interviews, the chosen collection of required data for the research was acquired. Due to the chosen technology. The survey, which in its form came close to being a questionnaire, was used in this thesis as an additional source of information, and was also used to acquire the primary data from the chosen sample. The sample was chosen at random. There were 94 total respondents. Through the research results which are related to the first goal, we can say that the explanatory function of the first hypothesis was not confirmed. In fact, protected work places of NGOs in South Bohemia use optimal tools of the marketing mix for the sale of their products. From the research results which are related to the second goal, we can say that the explanatory function of the second hypothesis was confirmed. With certainty we can say that a marketing strategy has an effect on the sale of products of protected work places of NGOs in South Bohemia.From the research results of controlled interviews with management of protected work places, it is evident that in addition to the long-term interests of the organization, protected work places are beginning to be interested in the desires and needs of their customers. They prefer segmented marketing, they monitor their competitors and concern themselves with competitive advantage. On the other hand, they do not engage in comprehensive marketing research and they do not create strategic marketing plans. In terms of the marketing mix, it was discovered that the quality of the products is important to those surveyed. In the communication mix, organizations mainly work with tools which can be used with lower costs.The research results of the wider public showed that the majority of respondents are aware of protected work places, but they consider their products to be unavailable. The main reason for the purchase of products from protected work places is to provide financial assistance. While respondents expect quality and attractively designed products for which they are willing to pay a higher price, the decisive incentive for the purchase may be lower-price products.
