Public Benefit Organizations

Public Benefit Organizations (PBOs) are organizations that operate primarily to serve the public good rather than generate profit for owners or shareholders. They include charities, non-profits, and other entities focused on social, environmental, educational, or community-oriented goals. PBOs often rely on donations, grants, or government support to fund their activities. Their main purpose is to improve society by addressing specific needs, such as healthcare, education, poverty alleviation, or conservation. Legally, they are recognized for their public benefit status, which often provides tax advantages and requires transparency in their operations.
