NGOs are task-oriented, non-profit organizations that combine people with common interests and goals. Citizens are encouraged to participate in all aspects of associational life by participating in voluntary action. Combined, they comprise 'civil society, which can be described as an arena of uncoerced collective action around shared values and goals. As well as the public and private sectors, this is known as the 'Third Sector.
Small, short-term NGOs respond to a specific need of a particular group or person in group or person at a particular point in time, while the large and established ones with diverse responsibilities serve a broader audience. Members of the organization and external 'recipients' receive services from them.
Lobbying governments, providing health care to communities, and providing voluntary services are just some of the things they do. One of the reasons it is such a difficult subject for historians is its size and diversity; it relates to numerous important social issues such as family values, gender roles, and international diplomacy.
Considering the diversity of the sector, it is not surprising that sources vary considerably. NGOs as well as other organizations provide information. In this chapter, we examine external and internal sources of income for nonprofit organizations (those that raise money to provide goods and services to groups in need of assistance). Students who study other types of NGOs and voluntary action can still find a lot of the issues and sources discussed here relevant.
