 A **Non-Profit Organization (NPO)**, also known as a **Non-Business Entity**, **Not-For-Profit Organization**,​ or **Nonprofit Institution**,​ is a legal entity organized and operated for a collective, public or social benefit, in contrast with an entity that operates as a business aiming to generate a profit for its owners. A nonprofit is subject to the non-distribution constraint: any revenues that exceed expenses must be committed to the organization'​s purpose, not taken by private parties. A wide array of organizations are nonprofit, including most political organizations,​ schools, business associations,​ churches, social clubs, and consumer cooperatives. Nonprofit entities generally seek approval from governments to be tax-exempt, and some may also qualify to receive tax-deductible contributions,​ but an entity may incorporate as a nonprofit entity without securing tax-exempt status. A **Non-Profit Organization (NPO)**, also known as a **Non-Business Entity**, **Not-For-Profit Organization**,​ or **Nonprofit Institution**,​ is a legal entity organized and operated for a collective, public or social benefit, in contrast with an entity that operates as a business aiming to generate a profit for its owners.
