Abstract: The paper considers the evolution of public funding mechanisms of organizations of the socio-cultural sphere. The most significant transformations of these mechanisms are highlighted and analyzed. The subjects of such transformations are: a) methods for determining the amount of budget funds allocated to institutions; b) requirements (or their absence), accompanying the provision of funds; c) degree of freedom of institutions in the disposal of funds. The analysis concludes that there is no noticeable progress in the development of these mechanisms. Special attention is given to the current transformation determined by involvement of private organizations into provision of socio-cultural services, particularly NGOs. Two possible ways of conducting such transformation are pointed out: decentralized (that takes place today), when the transformation is carried out relatively independently by sectors of the social sphere and the subjects of the Russian Federations and "centralized" transformation, when it is carried out on the basis of rules established at the federal level that are uniform for all branches of the social sphere, as well as regions and municipalities. The advantages and disadvantages of each option are identified. In conclusion, the main problems that led to the failure to improve considered mechanisms are discussed.
