Most of non-governmental organizations have stuff, whose work is paid and volunteer, whom working on a voluntary basis. As donors pay all related costs of their implementation, most NGOs provide their services free of charge, but also writing the project for implementing NGOs products/services required the budgeting on the basis of prices for NGOs services.
