Abstract: New Non-profit Organizations (NPOs) are being registered almost every day, and they are established by passionate individuals committed to providing critical services in support of developing countries’ national development agendas and the global Sustainable Development Goals (Schuller, 2021). This literature review highlights the concept of the keywords, which are “nonprofit organization†, “startup†, and “challenge.†This paper will explore the multifaceted challenges confronting non-profit organizations and startups within developing countries. The study hopes to provide valuable insight for researchers, practitioners, and legislators in the fields of organizational communication, startups, and nonprofit organizations, ultimately contributing to the body of knowledge. This study addresses key areas such as resource limitations, funding, regulatory compliance, and socio-cultural impacts. By synthesizing recent scholarly articles, this review aims to outline the complexities these entities face and suggest potential strategies for overcoming these obstacles to foster sustainable development.
