What is a "non-profit organization"?
Any organization founded to support a
charitable purpose and not in business to make a profit.
Other non-profits include groups that don't have private
ownership, where it is not legally possible for the profits
or equity of the organization to be distributed to private
parties, including stockholders.
Most non-profits are recognized as such
by a specific government agency. In the U.S. the IRS
grants a special "charitable" status to many non-profits,
enabling them to take tax-deductible contributions - for
example, 501(c)(3) organizations.
- public broadcasters
- educational organizations
- public and private foundations
- endowments
- government agencies
What is a "for-profit organization"?
