non-profit public benefit organization

Entities that engage in activities aimed at improving the quality of life in their communities. These activities can include social services, the arts, health, education, and more, and they are typically formed to be 501(c)(3) IRS tax-exempt organizations, meaning they do not pay federal income tax on their earnings and donations to them are tax-deductible for the donors. Non-profit public benefit organizations primarily serve the general public and communities in need, focusing on various social, cultural, and educational initiatives.
