GDPR Compliance for NGOs and Social Enterprises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a non-profit, NGO or social enterprise, your dependencies and drivers work different than in a for-profit organization. They are typically dependent on sponsors or donors that have their own compliance requirements and by supporting individuals you will typically also process their data. If either your organization, your sponsors or donors, or the individuals you support are in Europe, you will have exposure to the GDPR and will need to comply to it. GDPR compliance for NGOs and social enterprises is challenging driven by the organizations complexity. When working internationally, you may also be exposed to other privacy regulations. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Donors and sponsors, in particular when institutional, will have their due diligence in place about selecting the best NGO to work with. Privacy protection and GDPR compliance for NGOs is becoming more important by the year, and becomes a hard condition for carrying out work for donors in Europe. Having your GDPR compliance set up, and being able to talk about it with confidence, in grant writing, proposals and in meetings, becomes increasingly more important for securing work. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
