Well, if you go this way, then NGOs are policy businesses all the same, 
right? Simply they don't pay dividends, they pay salaries and 
reimbursements, but the principle is potentially the same: if someone 
wants to make a living out of policy activities, the form of 
incorporation is a secondary issue.

(In Italy - don't know about elsewhere - many, perhaps most, businesses 
that operate e.g. in the health sector are converting themselves into 
NGOs - this way, they pay less taxes, can get grants and donations, and 
even a share of your annual income tax if you want. Then, the NGO 
usually decides to use surplus money to buy houses, cars, boats that are 
given as "instrumental means" to the Chairman and Councillors... Of 
course none of the NGOs involved here is of this type, but this is just 
to illustrate my point, which by the way is drifting towards off topic.)
