The non-profit sector consists of organizations that operate for purposes other than making a profit. These organizations focus on social, educational, charitable, or community goals. They rely on donations, grants, and volunteers to fund their activities and often serve specific causes, such as healthcare, education, or environmental protection. Non-profits can take various forms, including charities, foundations, and advocacy groups. They play a crucial role in society by addressing needs that may not be met by the government or private sector. By promoting social change and providing services, the non-profit sector contributes significantly to community well-being.
