American non-profits

American non-profits are organizations that operate to serve a public or mutual benefit rather than to make a profit. They often focus on social causes like education, health, the environment, or community service. Non-profits can receive funding from donations, grants, and memberships, and they are usually tax-exempt, meaning they don’t pay federal income taxes. To maintain this status, they must adhere to specific regulations and provide public benefit. Examples include charities, foundations, and advocacy groups, and they play a crucial role in addressing societal needs and issues in the United States.
