Third sector organisations often rely on charitable contributions. An example might be Medecins Sans Frontieres.
They also sometimes receive grants from taxpayers, sometimes in return for work done eg the chari-ty Barnardo's receive government funding in return for advising the British government on man-agement of some children in its care.
