Walking around a campus the other day and saw several posters referencing making money donations to a cause to in support of a “mutual” aid action. How is “mutual” aid different than just donating to a non profit / NGO?

I live in Nebraska. We commonly use the term mutual aid for instances when local fire and police departments go to other police or fire departments’ jurisdictions because they need the help. The expectation is that the other agencies would come and help your local agencies if they needed it, reciprocating the assistance.
