TOP-PRIORITY ORIENTATION OF SOCIALLY ORIENTED NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS’ ACTIVITIES IN CURRENT STATE: LEGAL REGULATION AND PRACTICE

Abstract

The article is devoted to the detection of features of the activities of socially oriented nonprofit organizations that helped citizens during emergency situations, and issues of legal regulation of public authorities’ entities interactions with socially oriented non-profit organizations in сonsidered conditions. As a result of the study, the authors conclude that at present, the state needs to ensure cooperation with broad-aimed socially oriented non-profit organizations that are suitable for quick response to emergency situations and adaptable participation in maintaining the functions of public authorities during emergency situations. The new activities of socially oriented non-profit organizations require scientific reflection as well as legal provision for their сooperation with public authorities. The authors think that the state aims to unite, coordinate, and, if required, conform socially oriented non-profit organizations to such activities, by implementing which they would become an equal partner to the public authorities. At the same time, the change in socially oriented non-profit organizations' place demonstrates a new stage in redefining the constitutional and legal status of such organizations.
