Non-Profit

Not all businesses have the mindset of maximising their profits. For instance, most government organisations and charities do not aim to bring in as much revenue as possible. These organisations earn revenue but do not pay any of it to the owners. Instead, not-for-profit organisations tend to focus on social objectives rather than monetary ones.
