Background

First of all we need to know the characteristics of a Non-profit organization. A non-profit organization is a group organized for purposes other than generating profit and in which no part of the organization's income is distributed to its members, directors, or officers. So, any money earned must be retained by the organization, and used for its own e penses, operations, and programs. Nonprofit organizations must be designated as nonprofit when created and may only pursue purposes permitted by statutes for non-profit organizations. Non-profit organizations include churches, public schools, public charities, public clinics and hospitals, legal aid societies, !olunteer ser!ices organizations etc. "ost of the non-profit organizations recei!e income from donations. #here are some nonprofit organizations who recei!e income from fees for ser!ices, sale of products, earned interest on in!estments, go!ernment grants or contracts etc. $olunteerism is a key component for nonprofit organizations. $olunteers ser!e a !ariety of roles within organizations.
