Top 80 Charitable & Largest Non-Profit Organizations
A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION is a type of non-profit organization (NPO). It differs from other types of NPOs in that it centers on non-profit and philanthropic goals as well as social well-being (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.
Financial figures (e.g., tax refund, revenue from fundraising, revenue from sale of goods and services or revenue from investment) are important indicators to assess the financial sustainability of a charity, especially to charity evaluators. This information can impact a charity's reputation with donors and societies, and thus, the charity's financial gains.
Charitable organizations often depend partly on donations from for-profit-organizations. Such donations to charitable organizations represent a major form of corporate philanthropy.

There are several main types of non-profit organizations, though they do not all enjoy the same tax designation across the board, as some non-profits must pay employee taxes. While non-profit status is determined by state law, tax-exempt status specifically refers to an organization being free from paying federal income taxes and is decided at the federal level."
