Grassroots INGOs as a channel for diaspora philanthropy

Abstract

The development literature had for some time ignored the differences among international nongovernmental organisations (INGOs). However, recent research has looked at grassroots INGOs in particular, understanding them as alternative development actors. Grassroots INGOs are personally driven development NGOs, often funded through private donations, run by volunteers, and have modest budgets. This paper analyses diaspora-founded grassroots INGOs and asks the following questions: What does the organisational subfield of diaspora-founded grassroots INGOs look like? What types of services do diaspora-founded grassroots INGOs provide? What motivates their creation? The article contributes to research that further considers the diversity of the organisational field of INGOs, uses an empirical approach beyond case studies through the creation and analysis of a unique dataset, and deepens our understanding of diaspora members in particular as development actors.
