The Fast Fact on Non-Profit Organizations

Non-profit organizations are those which are set up in order to raise money for a cause. The cause may be on the local level or the global level, but in either case monies raised are not used as profit, but are instead used to support the cause. Any income for the company is funneled back into the organization rather than used as a profit which gets distributed to shareholders, owners and employees, as it would in other types of businesses.
