NGOs Around the World: What They Are and How to Support Them

There are approximately 10 million NGOs worldwide, and around 100,000 in Spain. These non-profit, independent organizations aim to address social, environmental, and humanitarian issues. Many focus on protecting the rights of vulnerable communities, providing access to education and healthcare, or preserving the environment. Notably, over 50% of Spanish NGOs are led by women.

Types of NGOs

NGOs vary by geographic scope and mission:

  • Local, regional, national, or international, depending on the reach of their work

  • Humanitarian aid – responding to crises and emergencies

  • Human rights – advocating for equality and freedom

  • Development – promoting education, healthcare, and job creation

  • Environmental – protecting ecosystems and fighting climate change

  • Education and culture – improving access and promoting inclusion

  • Healthcare – providing medical aid and raising health awareness

How to Support an NGO

  1. Become a regular donor (member) – Helps sustain long-term projects

  2. Make one-time donations – Financial support is always valuable

  3. Donate goods – Like food, clothes, or school supplies (check what’s needed first)

  4. Volunteer – Contribute your time and skills to ongoing initiatives

  5. Leave a legacy gift – Include an NGO in your will

  6. Spread the word – Share their mission on social media

  7. Shop with purpose – Buy from their charity stores, if available

In Spain, 1 in 4 people supports an NGO, contributing to positive change in society. Whether through time, money, or awareness, every action counts.
