Abstract: The herein article aims to address several specific aspects regarding the definition of nongovernmental organizations, their vision and mission. Also the setting of goals and the presentation of the values of these types of organizations will be presented using a comparative study of literature as a research method. The fields in which nongovernmental organizations operate are very diverse, as are the needs of the community, respectively: education, science, research, culture, social protection, minorities, human rights, environmental protection, child protection, etc. The mission of the organization lies in the ample mentioning of the fundamental goals and of the view regarding the evolution and progress of the organization’s activities, from which the activity field, the market served, as well as the differentiation from other similar organizations, result. Nongovernmental organizations are characterized by a great mobility in the manner of action. Their operation is dependent on the correct identification of the needs of the community and on their ability to attract the funds required to cover them. A nongovernmental organization can play an essential role within the society by identifying certain courses of action, omitted by the public authorities. They can approach the identified niches by using their own organizational skills and human resources or they can offer assistance to the authorities.
