Salamon [Salamon], R. Patmen [Putnam], M. Howard [Howard]. Methodology: system method; comparative analysis; statistical analysis methods; method of included observation. Findings: Regional specificity is the platform on which the design of the forms and formats of the non-profit sector is formed.

Practical implications: the results of the work may find practical application in the activities of relevant authorities when forming support mechanisms of the non-profit sector of the Russian regions, as well as the improvement of the infrastructure for the non-profit sector.
