1850, more than 100,000 private, not-for-profit organizations with an international
focus have been founded.The growth of NGOs really took off after the Second
World War, with about 90 international NGOs founded each year, compared with
about 10 each year in the 1890s. Only about 30 percent of early international NGOs
have survived, although those organizations founded after the wars have had a better
survival rate. Many more NGOs with a local, national or regional focus have been
created, though like their international counterparts, not all have survived or have
been successful.
