This article presents the most common and most frequently used management practices in European Social Funds projects applied by NGO'S. Indicated on different project types, carried out in the non-profit sector during the current financial period 2014-2020, a brief characterization of cach of the presented practices has been elaborated. In addition, based on my own research in a foundation, which has been a financial fund ESF' beneficiary in the previous programming period, specific recommendations were formulated which also could be used for any other funding projects to achieve efficient project management. The author wants to emphasize that the indicated solutions may not be used as a general implementation tool for cach organization. They arc elaborated and presented for taking into consideration or - probably - for implementation. The purpose of this article is to show the availability and the variety of project management practices in the NGO sector so management boards will be obliged to modify existing management practices in such way they will correspond to the needs of their organizations.
