Description The paper focuses on the determinants of the chances of NGOs to succeed with their project proposals to be funded from the EU funds in the Czech Republic. More specifically, we analyse the data on the allocation of resources within the Human Resources and Employment Operational Programme (HREOP), which was operated between 2007 and 2013 and belongs to the most important programs distributing EU resources in the Czech Republic. We draw on the insights of key economic theories of the third sector and test the hypotheses derived from them. The analysis suggests that the most successful are the project proposals that build on relatively large-sized budget, and are submitted by NGOs which have relied on public funding and on their own fundraiser.
