Nonprofits or Not-for-Profits is the term that comprises the legal persons or entities on which Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) rest and rely. Found at the grassroots, local, national, or international level, Foundations, Charities, NGOs, Congregations, Unions, Cooperatives, and Mutuals are increasingly emerging with the aim to better society. Nowadays a successful NPO/NGO/CSO has to manage responsibly and ethically the aid it offers and the change it envisions. It is crucial to comply with regulatory duties, secure good nonprofit governance, be accountable to its supporters and beneficiaries, and increase reputation and trust within the market, the community, and the state. All, while unearthing information and arguments to continuously make the case of its social mission, and demonstrating the civisolidarity effects of its action.
