Abstract
We studied the scope, content, revenue structure, and impediments to work of the non-profit sector in Cluj-Napoca as we considered the impact non-profit organizations exert on strengthening civil society and promoting democracy in the City.
Major Findings:
NGOs in Romania experience various difficulties in accomplishing their missions, including
overlapping and/or conflicting enabling and governing legislation, the absence of regulations for pro bono services offered to the representatives of marginalized communities, and the lack of legal financial incentives to individuals to make charitable contributions.
