It tackles history of NGOs working with children and youth in the Czech Republic and also existing relevant laws and legal regulations. The non-existence of an integral legislation for this area of civic activities results in the fact that the representatives of NGOs working with children have to have knowledge and proficiency in a vast variety of laws and regulations. Further on, the thesis offers some insight into the system and methods of risk management in commercial sector, introduces different approaches to risk analyses and attempts to apply some of them in the field of NGOs working with the underaged.

Lešák, Ondřej ; Deverová, Lenka (advisor) ; Moree, Dana (referee)
This work is focused on the typology of financial sources of NGO's as well as on understanding of the importance of ability to cover the costs of those organizations by their own sources in order to be independent of others. The emphasis is put to Public benefit corporations as the representative of the Czech non-for-profit sector. The work should also prove the importance of Public benefit corporations and their close connection to social economy at all. Public benefit corporations are seen as organizations responsible for providing the public good services as well as organizations allowed to benefit from their own business activities which altogether goes along with the basic principles of social economy. The main goals of this work are to create a brief profile of Public benefit corporations in Ústí nad Labem and document or find out how important role the selffinancing plays, with a focus on the point of view of organizations themself.

Lančová, Adéla ; Šťovíčková Jantulová, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Deverová, Lenka (referee)
The objective of the thesis is to record attitudes of selected non-profit organizations to the proposed major amendments of valid legislature. At the present in the Czech Republic there is a new Civil Code under preparation and directly linked to it a new Act on organizations of public benefit. It is expected that both these norms will have a great impact on Czech non-profit sector. First my thesis briefly presents existing research in the field of non-profit organization and organizations in relation to their environment, in which they operate. Then I present current situation of Czech non-profit sector and its most common legal entities. For my research I addressed organization about which I knew in advance that they know something about proposed modifications. I made interviews with seven respondents. The results of the research showed that the respondents approach the proposed modifications without definite positive or negative expectations. They only express their distrust of the modifications regarding the possible new competences of state institutions. At the end of the thesis there are also questions listed that arose during the research and that cannot be answered at present with certainty.

Foundations in Switzerland
Špaková, Martina ; Skovajsa, Marek (advisor) ; Deverová, Lenka (referee)
The aim of this master thesis is to point out the key characteristics of the foundations in Switzerland, to describe their development, underline some specific features and compare them to the foundations in the Czech Republic. Further on, I focus on the systems of quality assurance for foundations and other non-profit organisations, which can be found in Switzerland. Based on their analysis I consider the possibility of implementing of similar systems into the Czech non-profit sector. After the introductory chapter, basic definitions, the history and the typology of the Swiss foundations follow. In the third chapter I describe current legislation concerning foundations and confront it with the laws for foundation in the Czech Republic. Statistical data about the foundations in Switzerland are summed up in the fourth chapter. The next chapter presents the topics of foundation governance and related systems of quality assurance. The existing standards for Swiss non-profit organisations are characterised in the sixth chapter. As a result of previous analysis, in the seventh chapter I summarize some important points for the discussion about using similar systems in the Czech Republic.
