As an example, in today's news.. are the people getting rich running NGO's. While all charities can be considered NGOs, not all NGOs are charities. It depends on their mission and methods. And the increasing evidence of how politicians are getting wealthy these days is ever growing, right?

But many others have also been in the news for dubious purposes:

There are other types of groups and organizations that operate similarly to charities or NGOs, aiming to serve social, environmental, or humanitarian causes.

Here are some examples:

**Foundations**: These are organizations funded by a specific individual, family, or corporation. They often focus on grant-making to support various causes, such as education, healthcare, or the arts. Examples include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Isn't this one trying to use vaccinations for population control?

**Social Enterprises**: These are businesses that prioritize social or environmental goals over profit. They often reinvest their profits into the causes they support, such as providing community services or funding sustainability initiatives. However somehow those funds find their way into those running the projects, pockets.

**Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) **Advocacy Groups**, **Cooperatives**, and yes even **Faith-Based Organizations**: These groups often operate with similar goals to charities, and it's never long before the audit things appear sideways in their finances.

All this and yet... churches are the targets of most media outlets. Whatever happened to doing good for goodness' sake?
