NGO vs Trust: Key Differences Every Founder Should Know

Understanding the difference between an NGO vs Trust is important before starting a charitable organization in India. While both work for social welfare, they differ in legal structure, registration process, governance, and compliance requirements. Trusts are generally registered under the Indian Trusts Act, whereas NGOs may be registered as societies, trusts, or Section 8 companies depending on their objectives. Choosing the right legal structure depends on your organization's goals and operational needs.
