This article is an attempt to examine NGOs challenges with their external
environment. The findings of this research which are based on a field research
in Iran's NGOs, shows the relationship between organizational

Giving an image of Iran's non-governmental organizations’ environmental

communication in an entrepreneurship approach which has applicability to
other communities’ NGOs, especially in developing countries
