The paper deals with the topic of volunteering in the Czech Republic. The motivation of volunteers consists of several motivators that are individually different. The volunteer is not financially rewarded for their work, so it is important to know their volunteering initiative. Is volunteering linked to preparation for self-development? The result of the questionnaire survey is the answer, whether there is a relationship between volunteers and people who do not want to be volunteers focused on self-development and organization of their self-development. The result of the survey brings benefits for managers. The result can help them to better understand the needs of volunteers that they can use to manage them successfully. The survey was considered at a certain time without repetition. The limitation is that respondents respond their views, but they do not talk about actual practices and that could be differ.

The article uses the content analysis to answer questions about the use of external consultants or internal personal sources to lead the pre-project documentation and whole project process which are financed by EU structural funds. The article mentions further financing of projects, use of Local Action Groups, answer the question about the previous experience of actors with similar projects. An implementer of the case study projects could be an individual, a nonprofit organization, a public entity, a small or middle enterprise (up to 250 employees) and a big company (more than 250 employees). The conclusion is different for individual types of the implementers. The conclusion of the qualitative study is that projects which are in cooperation with Local Action Groups do not need other external consultants (Local Action Groups helps like consultant themselves). The limitation of the article is a small sample of examples that cannot be generalized. The result is used by implementers and external consultants to consider cooperation on projects burdened by grant applications and management of these projects.
