Abstract

The article is devoted to the introduction of digital technologies into the practices of non-profit organizations. The authors consider the all-Russian and regional trends of data of the non-profit sector publicity and digital competence. The main purpose of the analysis is to show how the publicity affects the digitalization level of civil society institutions, primarily the non–profit sector. The article was based on the data of research projects conducted earlier on this issue, as well as the results of a sociological study initiated by the Public Chamber of the Samara region with regional experts involved (representatives of authorities at various levels, non-profit organizations, public chambers and public councils). The empirical study was carried out in 2 stages. At the first stage, a survey was conducted in an online format by sending emails with detailed instructions for respondents (total 50 people were interviewed). At the second stage, to clarify the collected empirical information, 2 in-depth interviews were conducted with the experts selected among those who participated in the survey earlier and who had experience in working with the digital environment and non-profit organizations of the Samara region. The data analysis describes the current situation in the field of the publicity of non-profit organizations, the results and risks of digitalization in the third sector.
