Network for Financial Sustainability of CSOs

The Network for Financial Sustainability of CSOs has 128 members. It is an informal coalition advocating for changes in the regulations regarding the tax treatment and financial operations of CSOs. It was established by Konekt in partnership with the Apollonia Foundation and advocates for favorable changes in the following areas:

  • The tax treatment of CSOs;
  • Tax incentives for donations and sponsorships for CSOs and connection with the status of public interest organizations;
  • The accounting system for non-profit organizations;
  • The status of CSOs as employers and support for employment in the civil sector through active employment measures;
  • Social entrepreneurship and models of financial sustainability.
