"Nothing before had ever made me thoroughly realise, though I had read various scientific books, that science consists in grouping facts so that general laws or conclusions may be drawn from them." - Charles Darwin.
"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science." - Charles Darwin.
A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION is a type of non-profit organization (NPO). The term is relatively general and can technically refer to a public charity (also called "charitable foundation," "public foundation" or simply "foundation") or a private foundation. It differs from other types of NPOs in that its focus is centered around goals of a general philanthropic nature (e.g. charitable, educational, religious, or other activities serving the public interest or common good).
The legal definition of charitable organization (and of charity) varies according to the country and in some instances the region of the country in which the charitable organization operates. The regulation, tax treatment, and the way in which charity law affects charitable organizations also varies.
An INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION is an organization with an international membership, scope, or presence. There are two main types:
1): International nongovernmental organizations (INGOs): non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that operate internationally. These may be either: International non-profit organizations or international corporations, referred to as multinational corporations.
2): Intergovernmental organizations, also known as international governmental organizations (IGOs): the type of organization most closely associated with the term 'international organization', these are organizations that are made up primarily of sovereign states (referred to as member states).
An ORGANIZATION (or organisation) is a social arrangement which pursues collective goals, which controls its own performance, and which has a boundary separating it from its environment.
Organization – process-related: an entity is being (re-)organized (organization as task or action); Organization – functional: organization as a function of how entities like businesses or state authorities are used (organization as a permanent structure); Organization – institutional: an entity is an organization (organization as an actual purposeful structure within a social context).
