* Solomon, including the STNJ, from ''[[Witch Hunter Robin]]'', with shades of [[Church Militant]].
* Nergal Heavy Industries in ''[[Martian Successor Nadesico]]'', straddling the line between this and [[Mega Corp]].
* Celestial Being in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]''.
* Terminal in ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny]]''.
* Several characters in ''[[Negima]]'' mention that most mages on Earth work with various NGO's across the planet.
Line 21:
* ''[[District 9]]'': Multinational United likes to think of themselves as this. However, they are more of a [[Mega Corp]]
* SPECTRE from the [[James Bond]] flims. They're a terrorist organization, who ironically use beneficent NGOs as covers.
* The ''[[Men in Black (Filmfilm)|Men in Black]]'' become this after cutting off ties with the United States government.
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==

Line 57:
* In Afghanistan, many NGOs provide aid and assistance to the Taliban and their allied insurgent groups. Sometimes the Taliban demands medical aid as a condition for the NGO to operate in their area, while other times the NGO actually supports Islamic jihad. When these groups are identified and targeted, their governments refuse to admit they colluded with the enemy to avoid being shamed.
* The ''National Underwater and Marine Agency'' (NUMA), originally created by Clive Cussler for his ''[[NUMA Series]]'' novels featuring Dirk Pitt, then [[Defictionalized]]. The fictional version was the oceanic equivalent of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The [[Real Life]] version is an NGO and not likely run as it is portrayed in the novels.
* The Wikimedia Foundation, which hosts [[Wikipedia (Wiki)|Wikipedia]] as part of its mission "to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally", is an arguable [[Defictionalization]] of the Encyclopedia Foundation.
