A nonprofit organization is an entity that operates with the primary aim of serving the public interest or addressing specific community needs, rather than generating profit for owners or shareholders, as seen in a [[learnius/eitt/03 Key Concepts/Concepts/for-profit organization]]. These organizations focus on areas such as education, charity, religion, science, social welfare, and more. Nonprofits reinvest any surplus revenue back into their mission-driven activities to further their goals. They often rely on a combination of donations, grants, and volunteer support to sustain their operations and achieve their objectives. Examples of nonprofit organizations include charities, educational institutions, religious organizations, and cultural institutions.
