A nonprofit organization is a group that helps people or the community but does not make money like a business. Here are some important characteristics of a nonprofit:

  1. Clear Mission and Purpose: Nonprofits have a clear goal. They explain what they want to do and why it is important to help others.

  2. Communication: Nonprofits share their goals and ideas with everyone. They want people to understand what they care about.

  3. Stakeholder Engagement: Nonprofits involve people who care about their cause in planning and creating their programs. This means they listen to ideas and feedback from the community.

  4. Achieving Results: Nonprofits work hard to reach their goals. They also check how well they are doing to see if they are making a real difference.

  5. Good Management: Nonprofits have a group of people (board members) who help make important decisions and guide the organization.

  6. Resource Management: Nonprofits find and keep money and resources that they need to do their work well.

  7. Planning for the Future: Nonprofits think ahead and make plans to continue helping in the years to come.

In simple terms, nonprofits focus on helping people, work with the community, and plan well to be successful!
