Since the 1990s, rapid social change have created various social demands. Responding to these, local government has stepped up its collaboration with other sector entities, which shed light on NPOs as alternatives to meet social demands. However, it is difficult for NPOs to overcome their financial limitations, to play a public role. Coping with their financial limitations, the government has enacted the Nonprofit Organizations Support Act, which has helped NPOs contribute to the promotion of public service activities and the development of democratic societies. In general, nonprofit private sector subsidies can be said to be larger in areas with high population numbers than those without. However, we can not easily conclude that such regions are more interested in NPOs, and this interest is likely be function of the political characteristics of local government rather than economic factors. On political factors, this study focused on the political characteristics of local government’s head and tried to articulate their different interest to NPOs. In order to analyze this, we set the ratio of NPOs subsidies to each local government as a dependent variable, and suggest variables that reflect the political characteristics of local government’s head as independent variables with the case of 31 cities in Gyeonggi province from 2010 ~2014. The results showed that the progressive tendency of the local government’s head, the career experience of NPOs, coherence of political parties between local councils and heads of local governments, and the proximity of the election period have a positive effects on NPOs subsidies.
