Nonprofit organizations are entities that operate for the benefit of society without the primary goal of making a profit. These organizations typically pursue social, educational, cultural, religious, or charitable missions. Nonprofit organizations rely on donations, grants, and fundraising efforts to support their operations and fulfill their missions. Research in this area often focuses on the effectiveness of nonprofit organizations in achieving their goals, their impact on society, and strategies for improving their sustainability and success. Topics of study may include fundraising strategies, volunteer management, nonprofit governance, and the measurement of social impact.
