The collection of NPOs is sometimes called the Civil Society.
The Centre for Civil Society of the London School of Economics provides this definition:
"Civil society refers to the arena of uncoerced collective action around shared interests, purposes and values.
Civil society commonly embraces a diversity of spaces, actors and institutional forms, varying in their degree of formality, autonomy and power.
Civil societies are often populated by organizations such as registered char- ities, development nongovernment organizations, community groups, women's organizations, faith-based organizations, professional associations, trades unions, self-help groups, social movements, business associations, coalitions and advo- cacy groups."1
