Non-profit organizations exist to benefit their members rather than generate profits. They aim to provide facilities and services for members to use, and are formed for educational, religious, charitable, or social welfare purposes. Non-profits are governed by elected boards of directors and obtain funding through contributions, dues, programs, fundraising, grants, and investments rather than being owned by businesses seeking profits.
