Presented study is based on analyses of statistical data derived from the Central Statistical Office (CSO), Department of Social Economy and Public Benefit (DSEPB), the Ministry of Finance (MF) and the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy (MLSP). Due to restricted availability of data, the research covers the period of 2010‒2016. Author has outlined characteristics of PBOs in rural areas in terms of their number, distribution, type, statutory goal of the measure and amounts received under the voluntary transfer of 1% of income tax. Based upon conducted analyses, one may conclude that the nature of PBOs activity is linked to the type of location (cities-village) and characteristics of actions carried out. PBOs in rural areas play an important social role, but their economic significance depends on the activity of a specific non-governmental entity.}, type={Text}, title={Organizacje pożytku publicznego na obszarach wiejskichw Polsce = Public benefit organizations in the rural areas of Poland}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/Content/86631/PDF/WA51_112412_r2019-t53_SOW-Sikorski.pdf}, keywords={public benefit organizations, rural areas, 1% mechanism, civil society}, }
