The article examines regional practices of initiative budgeting. The main factors influencing the development of these practices have been identified. Their classification has been formed, including groups of economic, institutional, sociocultural and behavioral factors. Using the example of several regions of Central Russia, the impact of these factors on the implementation and transformation of proactive budgeting practices is analyzed. It has been established that the impact of economic and institutional factors has been studied in more detail and is taken into account when making decisions in the field of participatory budgeting. The influence of behavioral and sociocultural factors has been less studied, but their further study and application in proactive budgeting practices has great potential, as it allows expanding the involvement of residents in the budget process, creating conditions for taking initiative and participating in the preparation of initiative projects and the distribution of budget funds.
