charities are still working organisations so they do need all that stuff doing, and most are getting more commercial so are using more and more marketing etc.

A big charity, with more than 100 employees, would have these departments. Finance - acounting, produce monthly reports, pay bills, receive donations, invest excess funds Sales - Charities don't have sales. They may have customer service. HR - Hiring, paying, managing benefits, improving the workplace. Marketing - deciding on a message, sending the message to the world. Many charities, especially ones devoted to a particular cause, have people devoted to researching or promoting their cause.

All charities have at least one person who looks after the finance. Large charities which sell goods and services as part of their remit will have some kind of sales force, but most charities don't. Like companies, charities will only have an HR department is they have a large number of staff, otherwise that function will be carried out by one person in addition to other roles. Again, with marketing, it epends on the size of the charity - large ones will have a marketing dept, smaller ones not.
