charitable activities
Altruistic public service
Charitable activities are efforts undertaken to benefit others without expectation of profit—donating money, volunteering time, providing services to those in need.
The term appears frequently in legal and tax contexts, where it distinguishes nonprofit work from commercial enterprise: The organization's charitable activities include running food banks and homeless shelters.
The phrase covers everything from disaster relief to educational programs to community outreach.
