Non-Profits

The freshest Non-Profits selections are not only about donation drives. They point to education NGOs trying to support children and strengthen teaching, development actors testing data and AI, and philanthropy topics questioning how families, foundations and wealthy donors give.

Across 23 topics and 85 posts from the last 90 days, the area is fed by 20 curators. Some follow named organizations such as TarezameenFoundation, EdIndia Foundation, Saint-Gobain Fondation or Birthright Victoria. Others gather broader material on international development, nonprofit funding, social fundraising, social media and capacity building.

What is moving now is the shift from good intent to operating choices. The posts surface questions about teacher training, local leadership, survey exclusion, funding cuts, family giving, volunteer preparation and digital tools. The common thread is how nonprofit work becomes durable enough to meet social needs without losing sight of the people it serves.

   “The opening words of the United Nations Charter are: `We, the Peoples of the United Nations.’ This is the clearest possible statement that the United Nations does not belong to States alone. […] We live in an era in which international affairs are no longer dominated by States as the sole actors. The participants include non-governmental organizations, national parliaments, private companies, the mass media, universities, intellectuals, artists, and every woman and every man who considers him or herself to be part of the great human family.”

Secretary-General Kofi Annan

Messina, Italy, April 1997

What is an NGO?

A non-governmental organization (NGO) is any non-profit, voluntary citizens’ group which is organized on a local, national or international level. Task-oriented and driven by people with a common interest, NGOs perform a variety of services and humanitarian functions, bring citizens’ concerns to Governments, monitor policies and encourage political participation at the community level. They provide analysis and expertise, serve as early warning mechanisms and help monitor and implement international agreements. Some are organized around specific issues, such as human rights, the environment or health. Their relationship with offices and agencies of the United Nations System differs depending on their location and mandates.

Over 1,300 NGOs with strong information programmes on issues of concern to the United Nations are associated with the Department of Public Information (DPI), giving the United Nations valuable links to people around the world. DPI helps those NGOs gain access to and disseminate information about the range of issues in which the United Nations is involved, to enable the public to understand better the aims and objectives of the Organization.
How do NGOs and DPI cooperate?

The Department of Public Information and NGOs cooperate regularly. NGOs associated with DPI disseminate information about the UN to their membership, thereby building knowledge of and support for the Organization at the grassroots level. This dissemination includes, publicizing UN activities around the world on such issues as peace and security, economic and social development, human rights, humanitarian affairs and international law. Additionally, promote UN observances and international years established by the General Assembly to focus world attention on important issues facing humanity.

The NGO Relations Section within the Department of Public Information at the United Nations is the link with approximately 1,300 Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) who are partners and members in association with the Department of Public Information and support the UN efforts to disseminate information on the priority issues on its agenda, including sustainable development, creating a safer and more secure world, the importance of prevention, helping countries in transition, empowering women and young people, and addressing poverty, among others.
