The country's economy and its social sphere, including education and formation of a person, are directly dependent on the social orientation possibilities 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 municipal governments. The article examines some types of public organizations in the form of NGOs which contribute to the manifestation of the sense of pride for the countrymen, for history and nature which are given by the locality. Changes in the number of people living in rural areas have been noted downward, not exceeding the parameters of natural decline without a migration component. The most important characteristics of the local community have been determined: population with established history, lifestyle, traditions and adopted rules. It is shown that activities and relationships of people have spatial and temporal dimensions associated with the boundaries of interaction or the boundaries of a local community. Taking into account domestic practices and the experience of foreign countries, specific examples present the possibility of a positive impact 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, environmental, technological and other disasters; environmental and animal protection; activities in the field of education, science, culture, health care, improving the moral and psychological state of citizens, physical culture and sports, promoting spiritual growth 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.
