Description
Summary:Religious non-governmental organizations (RNGOs) and philanthropic activities in Indonesia have a long history. They existed prior to the creation of the nation state. Social, political and economic changes in this country have influenced the development of non-profit organizations for more than sixty years after the Inde-pendence of the Republic Indonesia in 1945. Modernization and development projects during the President Suharto era influenced the development of Non-governmental organizations (NGOs). In more recent years, RNGOs have largely developed as a response to the socio-economic crisis after the downfall of Presi-dent Suharto regime. Discovering the dynamics of RNGOs in a broader context of non-profit organizations in Indonesia provides insights into the strengths and weaknesses of philanthropic activism in recent years. An historical overview of non-profit organizations, legal structures, functions, and financial resources are among the themes that are described in this paper. Organisasi Agama Non Pemerintah (RNGOs) dan kegiatan filantropi di Indonesia memiliki sejarah yang panjang. Mereka ada sebelum penciptaan negara bangsa. Perubahan  sosial,  politik  dan  ekonomi  di  negara  ini  telah  memengaruhi perkembangan organisasi nirlaba selama lebih dari enam puluh tahun setelah Kemerdekaan Republik Indonesia pada tahun 1945. Modernisasi dan pembangunan proyek-proyek  selama  era  Presiden  Soeharto  memengaruhi  perkembangan organisasi non-pemerintah (LSM). Dalam tahun-tahun terakhir, RNGOs sebagian besar telah dikembangkan sebagai tanggapan terhadap krisis sosial-ekonomi setelah jatuhnya rezim Presiden Soeharto. Menemukan dinamika RNGOs dalam konteks yang lebih luas dari organisasi nirlaba di Indonesia memberikan wawasan ke dalam kekuatan dan kelemahan dari aktivisme filantropi dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Sebuah gambaran sejarah organisasi non-profit, struktur hukum, fungsi, dan  sumber  daya  keuangan  adalah  salah  satu  tema  yang  dijelaskan  dalam makalah ini
