The Rickshaw Pullers Socioeconomic Condition in Bangladesh
What are the distinctive challenges of strategic management in not-for-profit organizations?
A not-for-profit organization (US and UK),[1] often called an NFPO or simply a nonprofit, also non-commercial organization (Russia and CIS) often called an NCO, is an organization that uses surplus revenues to achieve its goals rather than distributing them as profit or dividends. States in the United States defer to the IRS designation conferred under United States Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c), when the IRS deems an organization eligible.[2]
While not-for-profit organizations (NFPO) are permitted to generate surplus revenues, they must be retained by the organization for its self-preservation, expansion, or plans.[3] NFPOs have controlling members or boards. Many have paid staff including management, while others employ unpaid volunteers and even executives who work with or without compensation (occasionally nominal).[4] Where there is a token fee, in general, it is used to meet legal requirements for establishing a contract between the executive and the organization.
Designation as a nonprofit and intent to make money are not related in the United States. This means nothing can be conferred by the declaration. It is unclear whether or not this holds outside of the U.S. In the United States, such inference is the purpose of the Internal Revenue Code, Section 501(c). The extent to which an NFPO can generate surplus revenues may be constrained or use of surplus revenues may be restricted.
Nature and goals: Some NFPOs may also be a charity or service organization; they may be organized as a not-for-profit corporation or as a trust, a cooperative, or they exist informally. A very similar type of organization termed a supporting organization operates like a foundation, but they are more complicated to administer, hold more favorable tax status and are restricted in the public charities they support.
Legal aspects: NFPOs have a wide diversity of structures and
