Difference between ngo & trust

“NGO” stands for “Non-governmental Organization” while “trust” is the word trust itself. NGOs are responsible for the promotion of certain causes whether it is in health, education, labor, environment, and other fields of life. Trusts, on the other hand, are when a person wants his or her properties and money to be managed by a certain body which is a trust. Trusts also assist in doing charitable work for the entire body of mankind whether it is medical, educational, labor, etc.

 

NGOs are also voluntary organizations which can be free but have considerations. An NGO usually aids the government with the programs that they can’t usually do in its extent and strength. Trusts, on the other hand, are not dependent on the programs of the government. Trusts have their own policies since they can be public or private trusts. It does not need any aid from the government or any organization. NGOs can receive financial assistance from the government while trusts cannot.

Examples of NGOs are: Red Cross, Red Crescent, Greenpeace, Amnesty International, and Doctors Without Borders while an example of a trust includes the Britain-Nepal Medical Trust.
