Definition

An organisation that is neither a part of a government nor funded by governments, foundations, schools, businesses, or private people.

Description

Some non-governmental organisations (NGOs) avoid formal funding altogether and are run primarily by volunteers. NGOs are highly diverse groups of organizations engaged in a wide range of activities, and take different forms in different parts of the world. Some may have charitable status, while others may be registered for tax exemption based on recognition of social purposes. Others may be fronts for political, religious, or other interests.
