Non-profits
are usually called voluntary groups in my country (New Zealand), and can be as informal as a group of people getting together to do something they think is worthwhile or as formal as a private company. Most are set up legally as charitable trusts or incorporated societies, and are required to file audited accounts and annual reports every year. Mostly they have to beg for funds through street appeals, or apply for funding from philantropic groups or Government agencies which distribute funds derived from gambling (horse racing, pokie machines, Lotto). NZ is a land of committee: the district in which I live has 6500 people and at least 64 registered non-profit groups (I haven't managed to find them all yet, and I'm sure there are more). I'm involved in three at the moment. Genuine volunteerism is definitley alive, but often struggling, and even the large national groups are usually hopelessly under-resourced.

Straightforward,
I don't know how people live with themselves at the way they steal right and left and make a legal loophole to get them by it. Good post.

My former school was begun by a non-profit
whose goal was to set up several schools in NYC, long before there were any charter schools. Our first students are now sophomores in college---80% of them!!!
