non-profit organization
Cause before profit
A non-profit organization is an entity that operates for purposes other than generating profit for owners or shareholders.
Revenue goes toward the organization's mission—charitable, educational, religious, or social—rather than distributed as profit.
Non-profits include charities, foundations, and advocacy groups: She works for a non-profit organization that provides legal aid.
Often shortened to non-profit.
