What's a non-profit organization ？?

I understand that it is basically run by volunteers and is a "not for profit corporation".

Does it have to be 100% volunteer activities ？ Is there any difference in the way of thinking between Japan and the U.S. ？

What would happen if they call themselves an NPO and engage in for-profit activities ？

Please let me know if you know more about this ！

You can work for a non-profit organization for a salary.

But I imagine your problem lies elsewhere than that.

I thought the only income for a non-profit organization was from donations and grants, but it looks like membership dues are good too.

Raising money and doing business seems like a business with a commercial purpose. Where is the line ？

tax savings ？

If it's used for tax-saving purposes, it means the NPO is being abused.

When they make a profit, it means they are using it for the NPO's original purpose of existence. Usually to help people. If the profits are distributed to the owners or the organization, it is not a non-profit organization.

Are you witnessing a bad NPO?

They say NPO and volunteer are not necessarily equal.

As much as an NPO sounds good, I thought that there are a lot of organizations that are registered as corporations for their own sake rather than to help others.

A non-profit organization is an organization that pursues social benefit while engaging in non-profit activities. They aim to solve social issues and promote the public interest without profit-making purposes. The activities of NPOs are not politically motivated and cover a wide variety of fields; one of the characteristics of NPOs is that they do not distribute their profits privately, but rather conduct their business according to their public mission.

I guess the basic premise is that it is not for profit, right?　Does a non-profit organization always have to use ． org for its website address and domain name ？?

.org stands for "organization （ organization, association, mechanism ）" and is a gTLD （ generic top-level domain ） created for use by non-profit organizations
. Therefore, there is no requirement that a non-profit organization must use .org. Other domain names are also available.

For example, the Japanese NPO "NPO Domain Name Association" uses the domain name .or.jp. .or.jp is one of the JP domain types for non-profit corporations. Foundations, incorporated associations, specified non-profit corporations, etc. can register .or.jp.
There are also gTLDs other than .org that are suitable for NPOs. For example, the .ngo domain name is issued to non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and registration is subject to review. Having a .ngo domain name can add credibility and transparency.


As described above, NPOs can choose a website address and domain name that suits their purposes and activities. .org is a domain name that generally represents a non-profit organization, but is not necessarily required.

Thank you for your very clear explanation.　I felt uncomfortable with ． com as a non-profit organization.
