public charity
Tax-exempt nonprofit entity
A public charity is a nonprofit organization that receives substantial funding from the general public or government rather than from a single source or small group of donors.
Most familiar charities—hospitals, universities, food banks, religious organizations—qualify as public charities, which receive more favorable tax treatment than private foundations.
