Objectives of the CC

When establishing or purchasing a civic association, one of the key documents is setting its goals. To give you an idea of how the goals of a civic association can be structured, we have prepared a sample list of goals divided into thematic areas - from sports, tourism, through culture and education, to health and the environment.

Such an overview will help you understand what options a civic association offers and will make it easier for you to decide whether you plan to establish your own civic association or purchase a ready-made association with ready-made goals.

Sample goals of a civic association by category

This article is for those interested in buying or selling a civic association (OZ). Below you will find a sample list of OZ goals divided by thematic areas.
