There are many types of nonprofit organizations, but each has a charitable mission to help an underserved segment of society. For example, there are nonprofits that serve the underserved youth, abused or abandoned animals, homeless, veterans and impoverished. There are also organizations that support social awareness and global issues such as the environment, education and equality.

The primary source of revenue for nonprofit organizations are monetary donations from sponsors, government grants and funding, and tax incentives through 501c3 designations.

The key expenses for a nonprofit organization are staffing, supplies, rent, utilities, and working capital to ensure the sustainability of the non profit.

Nonprofit organizations are most likely to receive funding from banks, grants, and donors. As the majority of the funding will come from government grants and funds, grant proposals will need to be compiled and proposed to the necessary funding organization.
