尽管学术界对国家机构和专业化非政府组织(NGO)的援助分配动机给予了大量关注，但在全球北方迅速崛起的私人资助的草根国际非政府组织(GINGO)却逃脱了学术分析。使用948个加拿大非政府组织的原始数据集，本研究比较了专业化的、中等规模的独立国际非政府组织和草根国际非政府组织之间沿着需求、优点、自身利益和便利性等相互竞争的变量的国家援助分配模式。我们的结果强调了分类分析的重要性，但揭示了所有三个非政府组织群体之间类似的援助分配趋势，并显示出明显的羊群行为。这些发现质疑GINGO不断增长的现象的附加值。©2020 John Wiley&Sons，Ltd.
Despite substantial scholarly attention given to aid allocation motives of state agencies and professionalized non‐governmental organizations (NGOs), privately funded grassroots international NGOs (GINGOs), which have rapidly emerged in the global North, have escaped academic analysis. Using an original dataset of 948 Canadian NGOs, this study compares country aid allocation patterns along competing variables of need, merit, self‐interest and convenience between professionalized, mid‐sized independent and grassroots international NGOs. Our results underscore the importance of a disaggregated analysis yet reveal similar aid allocation trends between all three NGO groups and show significant herding behaviour. These findings question the added value of the growing phenomena of GINGOs. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
