NGDOs funding

Abstract

In an uncertain and competitive environment with increasingly restricted resources, it is a challenge for non-governmental organizations to maintain an optimal financing structure. This paper analyzes the difficulties that arise in this type of organizations to achieve financial stability, placing the focus on Non-Governmental Development Organizations. International research points to weaknesses in the composition of income sources of non-governmental organizations and an increase in economic risks after the outbreak of the economic and financial crisis. This study focuses on the Spanish case, analyzing the evolution of funds and income executed during the period 2008-2015 for a sample of 76 NGDOs, as well as the context and regulations that will determine its evolution. The research literature indicates that a change in the structure of these organizations towards hybrid organizations could be a way to strengthen their viability.
