nonprofit entities

Tax-exempt charitable groups

Nonprofit entities are organizations that operate for purposes other than generating profit for owners or shareholders—charities, foundations, religious institutions, and similar bodies.

Any surplus revenue goes back into the organization's mission rather than to private individuals.

The grant was available only to nonprofit entities.

The term appears in legal, tax, and administrative contexts where the formal plural sounds more precise than simply "nonprofits."
