Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), charities, and not-for-profits have distinct differences linked to legal jurisdictions, tax obligations, regulatory control, commercial capacity, and funding – but they all have a common goal: to make a positive difference to the world. Whether their mission is to benefit human welfare, better society, or protect the natural environment, they harness the power of compassion and generosity to enrich peoples’ lives and conserve the environment. Without them and the sterling work they do across a raft of worthwhile causes, the world would suffer at every level – from individuals and local communities to societies and the climate.
