The country’s economy and its social sphere, including education and the formation of a person, are directly dependent on the possibilities of the social orientation of all creative and material forces. At the same time, regardless of the forms of management in a given territory, various public non-profit organizations and associations manifest themselves and can play an important role in improving the municipal government.

The most important characteristics of the local community have been determined: population with an established history, way of life, traditions and accepted rules. It is shown that the activities and relationships of people have spatial and temporal dimensions associated with the boundaries of the interaction or the boundaries of the local community. Taking into account the domestic practices and experience of foreign countries, specific examples presented the possibility of a positive influence of a developed system of non-profit organizations on local authorities in order to solve such important issues for the population as: material and moral support and protection of citizens; overcoming the consequences of natural disasters, environmental, technological or other disasters; environmental protection and animal welfare; activities in the field of education, science, culture, health care, improving the moral and psychological state of citizens, physical culture and sports, promoting spiritual development of the individual; activities in the field of military-patriotic education of the younger generation. All this contributes to the strengthening of the role of local authorities and raising the status of municipalities, which has a positive effect on improving the efficiency of local government and improving the socio-economic environment.
