Questions & Answers about Nosotras queremos contribuir con esta nueva ONG.

Why does this sentence use contribuir con instead of contribuir a for "contribute to"?

When you contribute money, resources, or support to an entity like an NGO, Spanish typically uses contribuir con. You use contribuir a when contributing to a specific result, goal, or action (for example, contribuir a mejorar el mundo).

How is the acronym ONG pronounced, and why is it feminine?

It is pronounced by saying its letters in Spanish: o-ene-ge. It is feminine (as shown by esta and nueva) because its core word is Organización, which is feminine. It stands for Organización No Gubernamental.

Why is the adjective nueva placed before ONG instead of after it?

Placing nueva before the noun often makes it more subjective, implying the NGO is new to the speakers (perhaps they recently discovered it or just decided to support it). If they said ONG nueva, it would be a more objective statement meaning the organization itself was recently founded.
