permaculture

[Paul Cereghino <paul.cereghino@comcast.net>]

501c3 references USA tax code for a specific type of NGO (*Various 
charitable, non-profit, religious, and educational organizations )*.  
There are many different classes of NGO's recognized by US tax code.  
Not all NGO's are 501c3.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/501(c)

NGOs are anything that are neither government nor industry, and is a 
vague term without a specific technical definition.
