The management of non-government organizations (NGOs) is undergoing significant transformations in the context of evolving social, regulatory and corporate-donor landscapes. This Paper particularly focus on growing influence of corporate social responsibility (CSR) funding, the reputational risk arising from unethical practices in CSR-NGO partnership and internal pressure such as over-commitment, commercialization, and mission drift faced by NGO leadership. Adopting mixed method approach, including case study of small size and mid-sized NGO and secondary literature review, the study identifies key challenges and proposes actionable recommendations of government policy and NGO governance to ensure sustainability and national development. The finding suggest that while CSR present major opportunities for NGOs, misalignment of donor-NGO objectives, lack of transparency and transient approach threaten NGO reputation and effectiveness. Policy interventions and strengthen governance framework are required to safeguard the public trust in NGOs and advance their contribution to nation building.
