The research aimed to explore the development and operation of non-profit organizations (NPOs) in the indigenous tribe. Particularly, how the NPOs adjusted their operational strategies to answer the social change and indigenous people’s needs was focused. For the research purposes, a case study of a NPO in a tribe (that is “Miaoli County Aboriginal Women and Children Care Cultural Association”, MCAWCCCA) -- was purposed. The qualitative data were collected from 8 cadres and core members by individual interviews and focus group. The research results first showed that the governance of the state could prevent the indigenous NPO from developing. Secondly, social changes had transformed the relationship and working in group in the tribe which might affect the development of NPOs. Thirdly, the development and operation of NPOs in the tribe would also influenced by the economic factor. The difficulties in earning a living in the tribe had leaded to continuous loss of human capital and the human quality declared as well. It was finally found that encountering these social changes, MCAWCCCA could adjust operational model and service strategies. Based on these research findings, some suggestions were recommended: 1) using the NPO as a base for recruiting and nurturing the talents; 2) promoting the cooperation of NPOs across regions; 3) the NPO should set a resource network platform for the sake of helping the tribe where the resources was limited to fight for more resources; and 4) constructing the culture values which could promote the sustainable development of NPOs in the tribe.
