Nonprofit jobs are gaining in popularity. The nonprofit world is attracting more people, including those with highly developed business skills. Even newly retired baby boomers are considering capstone careers serving causes they believe in.
What is a nonprofit? There is no definitive answer to this question. Nonprofits can be defined by tax status, what they do with surplus revenue, the existence of a volunteer board of directors, or the fact that their work is directed by a mission statement. The nonprofit sector is also referred to as the not-for-profit, tax-exempt, civil, independent, third, social, charitable, or voluntary sector. Internationally, nonprofits are typically called nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), charities, or foundations.
The nonprofit sector is comprised of organizations that are trying to create a better world, as defined by their missions. While youth centers and soup kitchens are often the first type of nonprofits that come to mind, the sector also includes religious institutions, universities, hospitals, trade associations, unions, and museums.
