1. Nongovernmental organization (NGO), voluntary group of individuals or
organizations, usually not with any government, that is formed to provide services or to
advocate a public policy. Although some NGOs are for-profit corporations, the vast majority are
nonprofit organizations. Some NGOs, particularly those based in countries, may be created or
controlled by governments. By most definitions, political parties and criminal or violent
guerrilla organizations are not considered NGOs. The issues addressed by NGOs run the gamut
of human concerns (e.g., environmental protection, disaster relief, and development
assistance), and the scope of their activities may be local, national, or international. Some
NGOs fulfill quasi-governmental functions for ethnic groups that lack a state of their own. NGOs
may be financed by private donations, , governments, or a combination of these.
