Leave me be for charity
A charitable organization (also known as a charity) is an organization with charitable purposes only.
Trusts, foundations, unincorporated associations and in some jurisdictions specific types of companies, may be established for a charitable purpose or may acquire such purpose after establishment.
Charities are all non-profit organizations, however, not all non-profit organizations are charities.
Organizations that are only partly dedicated to charitable purposes are sometimes considered as, or treated as, charities, depending on specific regulations at a given jurisdiction.
Some charitable organizations may be established by companies as part of tax planning and strategies.
