American Nonprofit Sector

The American nonprofit sector includes organizations that operate without the goal of making profits. Instead, they focus on social, charitable, educational, religious, or cultural missions. These organizations rely on donations, grants, and volunteers to fund their work and serve communities or causes. Examples include charities, schools, hospitals, and environmental groups. They are vital for addressing societal needs that may be overlooked or underfunded by government or business sectors. The sector is regulated to ensure accountability and transparency, and it plays a key role in fostering social well-being and civic engagement across the United States.
