Notably, 76% of companies report on CSR to mitigate brand reputation risks, and 64% of CEOs consider CSR as a core element of their business strategy.

The growth of the non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and charitable organizations market is poised to receive a significant boost from government funding. Government funding involves financial support provided by governments at various levels (federal, state, or local) to individuals, organizations, or projects for diverse purposes. Numerous government authorities are channeling funds to non-governmental organizations to enhance the delivery of efficient services. For instance, according to Donor Tracker, a Germany-based platform offering comprehensive analyses of policies and funding trends, the Australian government allocated an AUD 30 million (US$21 million) increase for NGOs in its 2023-24 budget in July 2023. This funding aims to support the work of NGOs across sectors such as development, social inclusion, gender equality, and climate projects. Hence, government funding for non-governmental organizations plays a pivotal role in driving the growth of the NGOs and charitable organizations market.

NGOs and charitable organizations are increasingly investing in customer relationship management (CRM) software to track donations and manage donor contact information. CRM software offers multiple functionalities such as email, phone, activity tracking, customer communication, and others in a single system without having to use multiple software tools. CRM software also provides efficient data management and secure storage of donor contact information using cloud and encryption technology. According to the Global NGO Technology Report, 45% of the surveyed NGOs use CRM software to track donations and manage donor communications. For instance, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, a charitable foundation uses SpringCM for document management and Salesforce for customer relationship management.

Leading companies in the non-governmental and charitable organizations sector are advancing innovative solutions, such as satellite imagery and support services, to improve disaster response, environmental monitoring, and data-driven decision-making. These technologies enable efficient resource allocation and stronger community engagement, enhancing overall impact. Satellite imagery, collected from space, offers visual data of the Earth's surface, supporting a range of applications. Support services provide technical assistance and data management, facilitating the effective use of this imagery.

This initiative empowers nonprofits to make informed decisions, fostering innovative solutions to address global challenges by reducing access barriers to satellite data.
