Objective: Non-governmental organizations (NGO – 3rd sector) are a key element of today's society. Activities carried out by these organizations strengthen the sense of security and participation in social, political and economic life. The article aims to examine the extent to which cooperation with local authorities affects the management of non-profit organizations. Design/methodology/approach: Based on literature research, the following research hypotheses were formulated related to the level of income of the local population, cooperation between NGOs and local authorities, building social capital by creating groups to undertake motivational activities and satisfaction with cooperation with the local government. Based on the Central Statistical Office data, the above hypotheses were verified using a correlation matrix with voivodeships as independent data. Findings: Many non-profit organizations benefit from financial support from local governments and, thanks to them, build social capital, although this applies primarily to the organization's members. Thanks to the research, it can be confirmed that cooperation between organizations and local governments is successful, and the fragmentation of NGOs does not affect the quality of this cooperation. Research limitations/implications: Several limitations were noted, including: the database is an average of organizations at the voivodeship level. The examined management evolution is only partial and highly generalized. There are no qualitative indicators to be included in future research. Practical implications: The third sector in the Polish economy plays a complementary role to society's needs for public services. Thanks to our findings, we can conclude that the fragmentation of these organizations is a response to heterogeneous needs. Social implications: NGOs are organizations that arise from grassroots social needs. We believe that it is important for these social life entities to take more into account the beneficiaries in their activities, financial independence and strengthening the quality of cooperation with local governments would allow them to improve the quality of services addressed to excluded social groups in a given region. Originality/value: The article systematizes knowledge regarding the theory of creating non-governmental organizations. Analyzing the research results, it was discovered that the number of NGOs is not related to the income diversity of the local community.
