Nonprofit Organizations
Nonprofit organizations are entities created to serve a social, educational, or charitable purpose rather than to make a profit. They rely on donations, grants, and volunteers to fund their activities. Any surplus revenue generated is reinvested into the organization's mission rather than distributed to owners or shareholders. Nonprofits often focus on issues like poverty, education, health, and environmental protection. They are usually tax-exempt under specific conditions, meaning they don’t pay income tax on the money they receive. Their primary goal is to make a positive impact on society rather than to generate financial returns.
