As indicated by Spillane, Hopkins & Sweet (2017) in his study, the ethical issues can involve the invasion of other individuals privacy to protect the right of some individuals who are the part of society. Those who are participating financially for the support of non-profits organizations should also be respected and their privacy should be maintained along with their information. On the other hand, the second stereotype is connected (and in many respects intertwined with one of the problems of regulation by the legislation of non-profit organizations) with the statement that the main distinguishing feature of a non-profit organization is its complete rejection of profit (Anderson & Dees, 2017). A well-known fact: many non-profit organizations conduct active and uninterrupted business activities (this is a powerful indicator, a feature that distinguishes NPOs from existing government agencies working in this field). Non-profit organizations are largely involved in the implementation of the most diverse, ambiguous and ambitious commercial projects related to their activities. And it causes great concern of commercial structures, tax services, and is also a small island in the middle of the ocean of problems associated with possible anti-state (subversive activities) affecting the image of the country (up to serious economic and ideological damage).
The functional approach is linked with the representation of the theoretical benefit by the active commercialization of the organization and then making them turn into the semi-legal, shadow business structures and legal ones. The activities of non-profit organizations have come under the strict control of various state institutions. In accordance with legislative requirements, they conduct checks on the compliance of the activities and expenses of the non-profit organization with its statutory goals under the threat of the forced liquidation of legal entities in the event of gross violations. This led to the fact that the number of non-profit organizations today is less than 15 percent of the total number of legal entities registered in the American Federation (Anderson & Dees, 2017). All these problems require a special approach, a planned solution at the legislative level, taking into account requests for the formation of a civil society. Despite the existing difficulties, many works and actions of non-profit organizations are directed towards legal protection, free legal education of citizens. In essence, one can speak of a special form of charity of people who are guided by moral and ethical considerations, which are motivated by a desire for a philanthropic nature. Over the past years, non-profit organizations in the US have been able to strengthen their positions both functionally and financially. There was a close cooperation of non-profit organizations with the media. The latter is not always successfully implemented in the form and scale that would be desirable for non-profit organizations. Nevertheless, the trends of this cooperation suggest a high potential of NPOs (Gálvez-Rodríguez, Caba-Pérez & López-Godoy, 2016).
