Yes, some NGO's receive government funding.  Many could not exist without that money.  They often have to do special applications and proposals to get the money and must reapply for it every year.  They usually also have to account for the spending of the money.  Sometimes there are strings attached to the money, such as they have to support certain philosophies.

Hi Hynky57,\n\nNGOs exist for a variety of purposes, usually to further the political or social goals of their members. Examples include improving the state of the natural environment, encouraging the observance of human rights, improving the welfare of the disadvantaged, or representing a corporate agenda. However, there are a huge number of such organizations and their goals cover a broad range of political and philosophical positions. This can also easily be applied to private schools and athletic organizations.\n\nMethods\n\nNGOs vary in their methods. Some act primarily as lobbyists, while others conduct programs and activities primarily. For instance, such an NGO as Oxfam, concerned with poverty alleviation, might provide needy people with the equipment and skills they need to find food and clean drinking water.\nAnother example of a NGO is Amnesty International, the largest Human rights organization in the world. It forms a global community of human rights defenders with more than 1.5 million members, supporters and subscribers in over 150 countries and territories.\n\nPublic Relations\n\nNon-governmental organizations need healthy relationships with the public to meet their goals. Foundations and charities use sophisticated public relations campaigns to raise funds and employ standard lobbying techniques with governments. Interest groups may be of political importance because of their ability to influence social and political outcomes. At times NGOs seek to mobilize public support.\n\nConsulting\n\nMany international NGOs have a consultative status with United Nations agencies relevant to their area of work. As an example, the Third World Network has a consultative status with the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). While in 1946, only 41 NGOs had consultative status with the ECOSOC, by 2003 this number had risen to 2,350.\n\nProject management\n\nThere is an increasing awareness that management techniques are crucial to project success in non-governmental organizations. Generally, non-governmental organisations, which are private, have a community or environmental focus. They address varieties of issues such as religion, emergency aid, and humanitarian affairs. They mobilise public support and voluntary contributions for aid; they often have strong links with community groups in developing countries and they often work in areas where government-to-government aid is not possible. NGO’s are accepted as a part of the international relations landscape, and while they influence national and multilateral policy-making, they are, increasingly, more directly involved in local action.\n\nManagement of non-governmental organizations\n\nTwo management trends are particularly relevant to NGOs: diversity management and participatory management. Diversity management deals with different cultures in an organization. Intercultural problems are prevalent in Northern NGOs that are engaged in developmental activities in the South. Personnel coming from a rich country are faced with a completely different approach of doing things in the target country. A participatory management style is said to be typical of NGOs. It is intricately tied to the concept of a learning organization: all people within the organization are perceived as sources for knowledge and skills. To develop the organization, individuals have to be able to contribute in the decision making process and they need to learn.\n\nStaffing\n\nNot all people working for non-governmental organizations are volunteers. Paid staff members typically receive lower pay than in the commercial private sector Employees are highly committed to the aims and principles of the organization. The reasons why people volunteer are not necessarily purely altruistic, and can provide immediate benefits for themselves as well as those they serve, including skills, experience and contacts.\n\nThere is some dispute as to whether expatriates

I didn't know that they existed.  I will have to check them out.  The questions are:  Which charities benefit from their generosity?\nHow much of their revenue do they donate?\nDo their advertisers write off their advertising as a charitable contribution?\nThanx for the question.

Try puting up posters at your campus or school, explaining what the organisations all about. Try community centers and religous institutions too. Im your stil having trouble, try teaming up with a similar existing organisation that already has a volunteer pool.

No profit organizations do not usually accept donations. It is considered investments from another source. Only non profit organizations accept donations.

I'm not that familiar with the organization linked below - but it looks as though they accept donations of meters.\n\nAnother thought would be a diabetes camp

When they stop killing each other and elect non corrupt govenments would be a start. Education is the key. All these charitys chucking money at them wont change a thing.

Habitat for Humanity is an awesome organization.  There's also Make A Wish Foundation.  ANY philanthropic gesture is lovely.  I don't know if you are part of a BRN (Business Referral Network) or not - but very often - everybody in the Network works on some charity together.  That way - even though you're a small business - you can make a larger impact with the group.\n\nBlessings!

I'm not sure if this is the right portal to ask for help on this issue... Anyways, I would be delighted to work in a NGO in my spare time, but then I'd be looking for a NGO in Delhi. Good luck anyways!

You'd be better off vetting the existing charities and development organizations with a proven track record and choosing one that meets your criteria, then, raise funds in their support. A suggestion, try Googling NGOs and start your search that way. Good luck!
