Global NGOs and Charitable Organizations Market Research Report 2024-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2030
A non-governmental organization (NGO) is a group that is independent of any government control and is usually not-for-profit. NGOs usually tend to address public, social, or political issues, such as activities involving humanitarian causes, protecting the environment, health conditions, education, and infrastructure, advocating for minority rights, supporting the poor, and reducing crime. The charitable organization is a non-profit organization with charitable-based goals aimed at improving some aspect of life in the community as a whole. Examples include educational organizations, churches, hospitals dedicated to medical research, etc. The main difference between charitable organizations and other non-profit organizations is that they are tax-exempt and receive tax-deductible donations. So for a charity to qualify as a charity, there are very specific or strict guidelines that need to be met. NGOs and charitable organizations play an important role in international development, aid, and philanthropy.
Market Overview:
The latest research study on the global NGOs and Charitable Organizations market finds that the global NGOs and Charitable Organizations market reached a value of USD 390666.87 million in 2023. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 643272.97 million by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.67% during the forecast period.
During COVID-19, many NGOs and charities have implemented restrictive containment measures, including social distancing, remote working, and closure of business activities, resulting in operational challenges. The pandemic has created obstacles to job continuity, as well as social and financial rivalries. The health crisis requires physical distancing, which requires the reduction or cancellation of traditional fundraising events such as galas, dinners, auctions, running events, golf tournaments, and donor recognition parties. With most NGOs and charities relying on program income and service fees, countless organizations were forced to close due to the pandemic and were unable to generate sufficient income. Most countries have gradually lifted some coronavirus-related rules as the outbreak slowed, including lifting restrictions, ending the use of protective masks outdoors, and allowing events such as evening parties and concerts. These organizations are gradually restructuring their operations and recovering from the impact of COVID-19.
Meanwhile, NGOs have been playing a vital role in the fight against the coronavirus and its impact on society's most vulnerable. Since 2020, governments around the world have taken action to deal with the new crown pneumonia epidemic. Nonprofits across the country quickly provided resources and partnered with governments and officials working to respond to the crisis. For example, charitable food aid providers have helped food banks secure resources to meet local needs, including building stocks, replenishing emergency food boxes, and shifting operations to mobile distribution to support social distancing. Plan International works in over 75 countries in the world to advance children’s rights and equality for girls. In response to COVID-19, Plan International is focused on communicating public health information, installing handwashing facilities, and distributing hygiene kits. Congress provides federal funding for state, territorial, local, and tribal governments to cover necessary expenses due to COVID-19. State governments have responded by partnering with nonprofits, adjusting government grants and contracts, providing unemployment insurance, and distributing funds. This provides some technical and training, manpower, and financial support for NGOs and charities, which is conducive to their participation in decision-making and the improvement of social culture.
Advantages and functions of NGOs and charities
NGOs and charities have an important and far-reaching impact on promoting social progress. Activities of NGOs include but are not limited to environmental, social, advocacy, and human rights work. They can work to promote large-scale or localized social or political change. NGOs play a key role in developing societies, improving communities, and promoting civic engagement. NGOs develop and operate community groups to improve and maintain infrastructure; act as liaisons between government and the public to facilitate communication; provide training and practical assistance to better address projects and Community concerns; contribute to research and evaluation of projects undertaken, and serve as a spokesperson for marginalized or otherwise underrepresented groups. Approximately 1.5 million NGOs operate in the United States. These NGOs conduct a wide range of activities, including political advocacy on issues such as foreign policy, elections, the environment, health care, women's rights, economic development, and many other issues. NGOs exist for almost every cause imaginable. Their sources of funding include donations from private individuals (U.S. or foreign), private sector for-profit corporations, philanthropic foundations, or federal, state, or local government grants.
The development of charitable organizations can not only promote innovation, but also reduce poverty, improve income distribution, and promote social equity, forming a virtuous circle of two-way interaction between the investment market and public welfare projects, and creating positive effects. First of all, some charitable funds have played a positive role in reducing poverty and alleviating social conflicts by investing in enterprises that focus on social welfare, such as education, medical care, poverty alleviation, and environmental protection. Through foreign investment, these charitable organizations invest funds in areas that are most needed by society and that are difficult for the government and traditional investment institutions to promote social harmony and progress. Second, public welfare and charity can increase the actual expenditure of the rich and optimize income distribution. Wealthy people can reasonably avoid taxes through diversified means, and after taking into account public welfare and charity, the actual expenditure contribution of the highest income group has increased significantly. Moreover, charitable funds can promote employment. American philanthropic foundations create a large number of jobs. Some charities work to help ex-offenders gain access to fair employment opportunities (such as Ban the Box), supporting them with essential employment resources, family skills, housing assistance, and more. In addition, the external investment of charitable funds can realize the maintenance and appreciation of its funds, inject vitality into the investment market, establish a good public image, and stimulate more people to participate in public welfare activities and charitable causes, thus forming a two-way relationship between the investment market and public welfare projects, and a virtuous circle of interaction. Governments around the world recognize the critical role NGOs and charities play in addressing social problems. As such, they implemented supportive policies, tax incentives, and financing opportunities to encourage the growth of these organizations. Overall, as NGOs and charities have become more popular and important in the public sector, their role in society and their global and local impact have gradually increased. This has promoted the progress of the NGOs and charities industry.
