Abstract: 
NGOs play a vital role in society and the study intends to discover its role and challenges in a pandemic. The study questions covered the issues that the local NGO encountered, and it was learned through the respondents' interviews that the NGO reported a decline in the quantity of money raised through donations and collections. The NGO was dealing with a reduction in subsidies, the loss of fee-for-service income, and the delay in processing funds, among other problems. The research additionally reveals that the NGO is unable to retain its employees and help everyone in need as a result. According to the study, the NGO's operations and activities were impacted in a number of ways by the extra challenges brought on by the pandemic. To prepare for such unanticipated situations, it is advised that such NGOs have appropriate strategic plans in terms of staff planning, financial management, and communication tactics.
