Abstract

Cultural resources are enormous, they are renewable and they must be considered as significant social and economic development drivers. In recent years, their contribution to a higher quality of life has been recognized at various levels. This is not the case with their financing. Financial solutions are still far from affordable and accessable. In this regard, the article examines the possibilities for financing the typical Bulgarian cultural institutions, namely the Chitalishte. First, the ways and methods of financing existing in the EU and in the world are presented. After that, the real possibilities for them are evaluated in the Bulgarian context.
