Pathology of charity organizations in Iran;With an emphasis on extracting strategies and policies to promote the charity sector using the SWOT technique

Charities are among non-profit organizations that are not based on personal profit and pursue charitable and public goals. Being non-governmental, non-profit, non-political, voluntary, and independent are common characteristics of public charity organizations. The current research tries to answer these questions using the SWOT technique: What are the weaknesses and threats of charity organizations in the country? And what strengths and opportunities do they benefit from? What strategies can minimize the weaknesses and prevent those threats from causing harm by taking advantage of the strengths and opportunities in charitable organizations? The results of this research, which used the library method in data collection and content analysis in the inferences, and applied CVI and CVR measurement tools in the validity of the results, indicated that by adopting strategies such as the institutionalization of the public sectors of charity affairs with a network approach, institutionalization of the governance sectors of charity affairs with a network approach, cultural and managerial development in the country's charity sector, and the networking of charitable institutions, the existing strengths will be strengthened, the weaknesses of charity organizations will be reduced to the minimum and existing threats will be turned into opportunities.
