A non-profit organization (abbreviated "NPO", also "non-profit" or "not-for-profit") is a legally constituted organization whose primary objective is to support or to actively engage in activities of public or private interest without any commercial or monetary profit purposes. Non-Profit Organizations are active in a wide range of areas, including the environment, humanitarian aid, animal protection, education, the arts, social issues, charities, early childhood education, health care, politics, religion, research, sports or other endeavors.
In the United States, non-profit organizations are normally formed by incorporating in the state in which they expect to do business. The act of incorporating creates a legal entity enabling the organization to be treated as a corporation under law and to enter into business dealings, form contracts, and property as any other individual or for-profit corporation may do.
Non-profit organizations can have members but many do not. The non profit may also be a trust or association of members. The organization may be controlled by its members who elect a Board of Directors, Board of Governors or Board of Trustees. Non profits may have a delegate structure to allow for the representation of groups or corporations as members. Alternately, it may be a non-membership organization and the board of directors may elect its own successors.
A primary difference between a non-profit and a for-profit corporation is that a non-profit does not issue stock or pay dividends, (for example, The Code of the Commonwealth of Virginia includes the Non-Stock Corporation Act that is used to incorporate non-profit entities) and may not enrich its directors. However, like for-profit corporations, non profits may still have employees and can compensate their directors within reasonable bounds.
