The number of socially oriented non-profit organizations (SONPO) at the end of 2024 was 133,812, Rosstat reports. Compared to 2023, their number increased by more than 3 thousand SONPOs. Their largest number – almost 12 thousand organizations – are registered in Moscow.
The top 5 regions by the number of NPOs also included Krasnodar Krai (5,644), Moscow Oblast (5,218), St. Petersburg (4,997), and Tyumen Oblast (4,646).
"Socially oriented non-profit organizations play a key role in the development of society, solving acute social problems where the state and business cannot always promptly help. They support vulnerable groups of the population (pensioners, people with disabilities, orphans), deal with environmental issues, education, protection of rights and cultural projects," commented Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Tatyana Ilyushnikova.
According to Rosstat, the total receipt of funds and other property by NPOs in 2024 exceeded 2 trillion rubles, and the number of employees was over 544 thousand people. The largest increase was shown by the average number of volunteers participating in the activities of NPOs: last year, over 4.8 million people joined on a voluntary basis. The increase compared to 2023 was about 900 thousand people.
In terms of the distribution of NPOs by types of activity, the largest number of organizations operate in the field of physical culture and sports (32,315), provision of social services (31,456), education and science (26,345), culture and art (16,014), charitable activities (15,640), and promotion of patriotic and spiritual-moral education of youth (14,323).
"SONPOs often act as innovators, developing and testing new approaches to providing services in the social sphere. Their flexibility and proximity to the needs of society allow them to create targeted and effective solutions," Tatyana Ilyushnikova emphasized.
In total, in 2024, NPOs provided social services to more than 95 million people. Over the past 12 years, this figure has increased fivefold.
