Abstract

Non-Profit Organizations and Non-Government Organizations are very integral and prominent participants within societal ecosystems. However, there have been serious issues about impropriety, mismanagement, and corruption as well. Nontransparent methods within various funding systems have been pointed out as some factors that have significantly added towards these apprehensions. The paper argues that current requirements of high credit requirements, disadvantage grassroots NGOs and restrict participation. It proposes a diversified, transparent, and inclusive funding framework that prioritizes capacity-building, small grant mechanisms, and digital transparency tools. Through conceptual analysis and review of existing literature, this study highlights the urgent need for democratized development finance to ensure ethical accountability and enhanced outreach in the social sector.
