Non-governmental organizations, or NGOs, were first called such in Article 71 in the Charter of the newly formed United Nations in 1945. While NGOs have no fixed or formal definition, they are generally defined as nonprofit entities independent of governmental influence (although they may receive government funding).
The biggest difference with an NGO is the scope of work that most non-profits assume. Many non-profits are affiliated with churches, boys and girls clubs, and alumni associations. An NGO, on the other hand, has broader and internationally driven footprint.
German Federal Republic is an NGO.
SO basically, NGO is an organization that has the disguise of charity, yet, unelected people through lobbying and living of the people's money shape policy and implementation.
Your definition is best.
