Answer 1

The answer is: Not for Profit Corporation

Step-by-step explanation:

Not for profit corporations are a type of Non Profit Organizations (NPO) and are included under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. They include charities, religious organizations, other organizations with educational, literary or scientific purposes, that were not created in order to generate profit for its shareholders.

A NPO can make money with its activities (e.g. have a charity ball). They can also do business and make a profit. What they can't do, is distribute that profit with its shareholders.
