A non-profit organization is a group organized for purposes other than generating profit and in which no part of the organization's income is distributed to its members, directors, or officers. Non-profit organizations must be designated as nonprofit when created and may only pursue purposes permitted by statutes for non-profit organizations. Non-profit organizations include churches, public schools, public charities, public clinics and hospitals, amateur sports organizations, political organizations, legal aid societies, volunteer services, organizations, labor unions, professional associations, research institutes, museums, and some governmental agencies.
