    Does the federal government fund any NGOs? Which ones?

    A non-governmental organization (NGO) is a non-profit, citizen-based group that functions independently of government. NGOs are organized on local, national and international levels to serve specific social or political purposes. Despite their independence from government, many NGOs receive significant funding from government entities.While an NGO can be funded entirely or in part by government funding, it may keep its non-governmental status by prohibiting government representatives from membership.

    If I want to have some cash in a liquid account for unexpected emergencies, what is best? A savings account or another type?

    It's always a good idea to keep some money set aside in a liquid form, but it's a double-edged sword, because the more liquid your money, the less it's earning. If you never have an emergency, then you can miss out on the chance for substantial earnings by keeping that money in a simple savings account.

    What is a triple tax-free municipal bond?
