Abstract
Every year, more and more non-profit organizations are being created in our country and in
the world, the main purpose of which is not related to making a profit and distributing it among its members.
The main goal of non-profit organizations activities is to obtain a social effect, solve the problems
of certain groups of people, improve the quality of life of the region and the society. The social effect, the
carrier of which is considered a non-commercial product and which arises as a result of non-commercial
exchange, appears due to the satisfaction of consumer demand. It should serve as a signal to investors
about the need to finance the activities of a non-commercial entity. The social effect is an indicator characterizing
the qualitative aspect of the change that has already occurred (raising the educational level of
the population, satisfaction with social status or a financial situation, increasing the number of children
in families). One of the best examples of non-profit organizations is “BEST” (Board of European Students
of Technology). It is a non-political volunteer organization aimed at developing engineering students. It
helps students from Europe be internationally minded, better understand the culture of different countries
and develop the potential for working at the international level. Nowadays there are ninety-six local
BEST groups in thirty-three countries, four of which are located in Russia: two in Yekaterinburg, and one
in Moscow and one in St. Petersburg. In the capital of the Urals, one of the groups exists on the basis of
the Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B.N.Yeltsin.
Key words
marketing, marketing mix, non-profit organizations, social effect, international student
organizations.
