The strategy of social services organizations during a decline of funding
Original language description
The aim of this paper was to find out which solution strategies have been used by organizations providing social services in the Czech Republic during reduction of funding from their traditional donors (mainly funds from the state budget, from the budgets of municipalities, towns and regions, from the European Structural and Investment Funds, contributions of founders). The multiple descriptive study of the situations based on qualitative semi-structured interviews with representatives of the surveyed organizations and qualitative analysis of organizational documents was chosen to achieve the target. The findings showed that social service providers preferred adaptation strategies when they tried to adapt to the finances decline, without trying to change the donor decision on reducing funds. These strategies were distinguished from the view whether they merely passively adapted to the situation through the savings or a specific tactics or adapted actively that they tried to seek any additional resources for the functioning. To a lesser extent, they preferred strategies that were oriented to overturn the decision of the donor. These strategies were distinguished as moderate and coercive. The outcome of the paper is the hypothesis of ' anti radicalism' of Czech social service organizations.
