Recent national and international disasters have shown that governments or individuals cannot work alone, but need support in implementing humanitarian non-profit programs. As a result, non-profit or not for profit organizations are today playing a major role in providing service through private and public concerns. Started by individuals or groups, these organizations are funded by personal wealth and donations from private and public sectors. There is an understood line of control, as revenue generated is non-taxable.
A non-profit organization could be the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Howard Hughes Medical Institute hospitals, universities, non-governmental organizations or NGOs, plus charities with global outreach to people and organizations in need. These programs range from teaching computers, saving forests, offering shelter to animals, and running literacy programs and health camps, to other relief issues.
The demand and success of non-profit organizations has created jobs for dedicated and philanthropic people who devote their time to working in them. It is not that non-profit organizations are economically way behind when compared to profit-making concerns. They do make a profit, but use it for pay checks, income generation and streamlining organizational work.
Similarly, non-profit software companies are promoting simple and free software to companies and individuals to understand and deal with glitches. Non-profit debt consolidation is another area floated by non-profit companies to help people, mostly students and the disadvantaged, to consolidate their debts through donations.
Non-profit is big business, and there are more than a million non-profit organizations in the United States. Ostensibly, they provide public service without profit, but there are always a few corrupt ones and it is for people dealing with them to find out.
