A Non Profit Corporation is a state incorporated legal entity formed to serve a charitable, educational, religious, scientific, or community purpose rather than to generate profit for owners. It operates with the same legal structure as a for profit corporation: a board of directors, bylaws, formal governance. But its revenue is reinvested into the mission rather than distributed to shareholders.
