Abstract
Non-governmental organizations pursue work that is at the intersection of humanitarianism, collective effort, advocacy, and purpose. These organizations expose discrepancies and facilitate solutions. The research problem in this work centers on the operations of non-governmental organizations in Italy and Vietnam. This project explores the junction where altruism and impact meet business and profit. As such, I ask essentially explore an NGO’s approach to sustaining the convergence of growing a business and increasing social change and impact in Italy Vietnam. Prior to this research, I led with the hypothesis that the capitalist-driven global community in which we live has altered the priority of non-governmental organizations, therefore putting more emphasis on profits rather than people. However, utilizing exploratory methods on the overview/reports of my selected NGOs, and observational methods through asset mapping has revealed the certain balance of impact and profit that may exist in modern NGOs.
