Rural nonprofit organizations and their functions in communities and local governance: Survey results from Vysočina and South Moravia
Original language description
Motivated by constrained public good delivery and social cohesion-weakening tendencies in rural areas, this paper examines rural nonprofit organizations and their contribution to communities and local governance. We analyze three functions of the nonprofit organizations - service, community-building and advocacy functions - and their variation among municipalities characterized by different degrees of rurality. Using survey data (interviews with mayors) from 179 rural municipalities in Vysočina and South Moravian regions, we find an overall positive perception of the nonprofits? role for communities and local governance. Although the rural nonprofits provide services mainly in areas of sports and leisure activities, while nonprofits? provision in fields requiring more specialized expertise and professionalization are found frequently missing or insufficient, the rural nonprofits were greatly recognized for their community-building function.
