Non-profit organization

Un article de Wikipedia, l'encyclopéde libre.

A non-profit organization (often called "non-profit org" or simply "non-profit" or "not-for-profit") is an organization whose primary objective is something other than the generation of profit. Such organizations are typically funded through a mix of private or public (ie. government) donations. They may also generate income through their own commercial activities, but the extent to which they are able to do this may be constrained, or the use of such income may be restricted in certain ways. The term is most widely used in the United States.

A charity is a type of non-profit organization, and some non-governmental organizations may also be non-profit organizations.
