CHARITABLE GIVING AND THIRD SECTOR ORGANISATIONS

The term “Third Sector Organisations” is used to describe organisations that are neither public sector nor private sector. It includes voluntary and community organisations (both registered charities and other organisations such as associations, self-help groups and community groups), social enterprises, mutuals and co-operatives.  Third Sector organisations are also referred to as ‘not-for-profit organisations’.


Third Sector organisations are generally:

- independent of government.

- ‘value-driven’. (motivated by the desire to achieve social goals (e.g. improving public welfare, the environment or economic well-being) rather than the desire to distribute profit; and

- reinvest any surpluses generated in the pursuit of their goals. 

Third Sector organisations speak out for the people and create awareness of their needs to the public sector and the wider society. Shakiry Charity is a Third Sector organization that offers a local, drop-in advice service for disadvantaged people (widows and orphans), the ill and disabled, the poor and destitute through our Branches in Iraq.  Our Branches are a “voice for the people” within local government.
