non-profit sector

The non-profit sector comprises organizations that aim to serve public interests rather than generate profit. These organizations address various social, environmental, and cultural issues, such as education, healthcare, poverty alleviation, and the arts. Funded primarily through donations, grants, and volunteers, non-profits reinvest any surplus resources back into their mission. Unlike for-profit businesses, they focus on community benefits rather than financial gain. Examples include charities, foundations, and advocacy groups. The non-profit sector plays a vital role in addressing needs that may not be met by government or businesses, fostering a more equitable society.
