26 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +1 | briefcase NGOs الشركات/المؤسسات التي تتخذ شكل منظمات غير حكومية
Explanation:
This is my suggestion based on what I found:
There are also "NGO pretenders" that may be registered legitimately as NGOs but serve none of the intended purposes. They even have acronyms and some of the more amusing are:
l
BRINGO (Briefcase NGO) -- nothing more than a briefcase carrying a well-written proposal..

Many NGOs are in fact family businesses. Some are
only a quasi non-governmental organisation (‘quango’), a
briefcase NGO (‘bongo’), or a private profit-oriented NGO (my
own NGO:‘mongo’).Thus there is always the relevant question
who and what CSOs really represent, and who their
constituencies are.

Explanation:
منظمات غير حكومية غير جادة

BRINGO (Briefcase NGO) -- nothing more than a briefcase carrying a well-written proposal
Regardless of the diversity among NGOs and of the doubtful nature of some of the them (the so-called "briefcase NGOs"), it is undeniable that many NGOs are making a significant effort to improve people's welfare.
