FINANCING OF CZECH CULTURE CONTRIBUTORY ORGANIZATIONS

Abstract

This paper is mainly focused on financing contributory organizations which are operating in the cultural sector. Czech contributory organizations set up by regions will be investigated. An analysis of financing is possible with the help of data collected by NIPOS during the time period 2008-2010 in the Czech Republic Otherwise data are not publicly available. Data are still limited and therefore basic financial ratios (self sufficiency ratio and labour demand ratio) of cultural sector will be calculated. Especially self sufficiency ratio is specific for cultural sector and is not calculated for classical profitable organizations. Data will be statistically evaluated and the main differences will be shown. Main trends especially in terms of financing and cost structure of cultural contributory organizations will be found. Cultural sector is not so homogenous as industrial sector in assumptions about financing. It will discover whether it is necessary to analyze sources of financing.
