NPO法人, or Non-Profit Organization (NPO), is a type of organization in Japan that operates for purposes other than making a profit. These organizations focus on social, cultural, or environmental issues and aim to benefit the community. They are often funded through donations, grants, and membership fees. To establish an NPO法人, a group must register with the government and meet specific legal requirements. This includes having a clear mission, a board of directors, and a set of bylaws. NPO法人 can engage in various activities, such as community service, education, and advocacy, contributing to societal improvement.
