  3. The Operation of NGOs and NPOs

The routinely operations of a Non-Profit Organization (NPO) or Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) may come unclassified to some. But just like any other organization, an NPO and NGO’s operations focus on certain goals and initiatives. These organizations focus on various things that bring about positive results to many communities. These communities include the underprivileged living in developing countries. Several projects are hosted by NGOs and NPOs to improve the standard of living, eradicate discrimination, improve education, and creating more sustainable communities in many areas. The implementation of these projects will be part of the organizations field work. But before being able to begin with their field work and reach their initiatives, NGOs and NPOs need to raise enough funds.
 
In many developing countries, NGOs and NPOs are both greatly concerned with poverty and ways to eliminate it. Such methods include improving the healthcare system to save thousands of lives. This can be one through equipping hospitals and doctors to learn new and more accurate methods. Advanced equipment can also be donated for continued implementation of newer methods. Likewise, people are also given free check-ups for earlier detection of possible diseases which will be cured more easily. Sanitation in many areas are also a concern as it can cause many illnesses and infections. 

Apart from healthcare and sanitation which will inevitably save many lives, education is also given emphasis to aid people in living a better life. Out of school youths are encouraged to attend school again and bridges and modes of transportation are provided for schools which are difficult to reach for some residents. Scholarships to universities are also made available for deserving students to reach a higher standard of living. 
Livelihoods are also taught to communities such as the women who were not educated and was initially taught to remain at home. They educate with skills to help them make a living whilst watching over their household. 

In the same way, many NGOs are also concerned about the environment and the current status of waste products our planet endures. Thus, sustainable methods are implemented in communities as to avoid further destruction of which our planet currently endures. 

As it has been mentioned earlier, NGOs and NPOs will be needing funds to implement the various initiatives they have. A nonprofit’s structure is like many other organizations. A board of directors is present along with the various departments regular offices have such as finance, human resources, and others. Within the organization, there are those assigned to acquiring funds to make many project a possibility. Funding opportunities for NGOs are constantly being pursued. These funding opportunities can come in the form of grants, wherein NGOs need to seek any apply for them alongside many competitors also aiming to receive the said grant for their initiatives. 

There are also a wide variety of funding sources for non-profit organizations, most of which are very specific. Grant funding agencies are specific when it comes to the proposals they wish to receive from those applying for their grants. If a particular grant is not in line with the initiatives or focus area your NGO or NPO has, there is no point in applying because you will not be given consideration. This is why it is necessary for nonprofits to have an in-house research time to search for various grants to be applied for.
 
A research team is in charge of searching for possible grants while another team will take charge for generating the funds. Operations of a nonprofit is similar to that of a corporation where each person has their own tasks and assignments. The difference is where the money goes and the additional field work NGOs and NPOs need to endure.
