Translations for the non-profit and voluntary sector
The non-profit and voluntary sector is a continuously evolving social, economic and cultural sector. The institutions that make up this sector pursue civic, charitable and socially useful objectives on a non-profit basis. This vast category includes voluntary associations, social cooperatives, social development associations, consumer and user associations, mutual aid groups, NGOs (non-governmental organisations), foundations, social enterprises, amateur sports clubs, civilly recognised religious associations (for activities of general interest). Whether it be an international organisation that also operates in Italy or an association headquartered here but also present in other countries across the world, it is essential that they pay close attention to the language they use when it comes to the following activities:
- Communication campaigns;
- Fundraising campaigns;
- Volunteer/worker recruitment campaigns;
- Awareness raising campaigns;
- Lobbying;
- Promotion of international cooperation projects;
- Reports on activities.
The project managers or communications managers of many non-profit or voluntary associations or foundations traditionally use Landoor as their language service provider.
