What does ngo mean?

NGO, the abbreviation of English word "non-government organization", refers to an association, society, foundation, charitable trust, non-profit company or other legal person that is not regarded as a government department and is not for profit under a specific legal system. Not the government, not driven by power; Nor is it driven by economy, especially economic interests. Her driving force is voluntary service. It is an important symbol of the rise of civil society.

The rise of non-governmental organizations around the world began in the 1980s. With the global population, poverty and environmental problems becoming increasingly prominent, people find that the sustainable development of human beings can not be solved only by the traditional government and market level. In response, non-governmental organizations have grown rapidly and formed a new social level.

NGO is not a government and is not driven by power; Nor is it driven by economy, especially economic interests. The driving force of NGO is voluntary service.

Developed modern society needs developed non-governmental organizations. According to a survey, there are more than 2 million non-governmental organizations in the United States, with a total capital of more than 500 billion and a staff of more than 9 million. Such a large and active non-governmental organization (NGO) conforms to the institutional structure of "big society, small government" in the United States. The origin of this system is related to the tradition of immigrants helping each other at the beginning of the founding of the United States.

The economic sources of non-governmental organizations are mainly social and private donations. For example, the United States has an extremely strong private foundation to support various NGOs in the United States. At the same time, the state has established a tax deduction system for donations to encourage donations.
