A nonprofit organization (US and UK),[1] or not-for-profit organization (UK and others), often called an NPO or simply a nonprofit and non-commercial organization (Russia and CIS[citation needed]), often called an NCO, is an organization that uses surplus revenues to achieve its goals rather than distributing them as profit or dividends.[2] While not-for-profit organizations are permitted to generate surplus revenues, they must be retained by the organization for its self-preservation, expansion, or plans.[3] NPOs have controlling members or boards.

Many have paid staff including management, while others employ unpaid volunteers and even executives who work with or without compensation (occasionally nominal).[4] Where there is a token fee, in general, it is used to meet legal requirements for establishing a contract between the executive and the organization. Objectives and Goals[edit] Functions[edit] NPOs have a wide diversity of structures and purposes. Formation and structure[edit] What is AHMI? - American Humanics National Website.

The Money Changers. Harvard Grad Talks About Her Valencia Start. Getting into: Harvard Business School. Peering into their futures. Three Harvard College seniors and a first-year Harvard Medical School student are among the 32 American men and women named as Rhodes Scholars on Saturday (Nov. 20). Each will begin study next fall at the University of Oxford in England. Harvard’s newest Rhodes Scholars are Zachary Frankel ’11 of Brooklyn, N.Y, Daniel Lage ’11 of Miami, Baltazar Zavala ’11 of El Paso, Texas, and medical student Aakash Shah of Cliffside Park, N.J. They were chosen from among 837 students nominated by 309 colleges and universities nationwide. “I’m very proud of these outstanding young people,” said Harvard College Dean Evelynn M. Hammonds, who is also the Barbara Gutmann Rosenkrantz Professor of the History of Science and of African and African American Studies. “The characteristics that Harvard seeks in its students — which include academic excellence, leadership, and a commitment to service — are those that the Rhodes Trust values highly as well.

Peter Thiel Has New Initiative To Pay Kids To “Stop Out Of School” Today at our TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco, Clarium Capital President Peter Thiel sat down with our own Sarah Lacy to talk about a whole range of issues. But at the end of the dicussion, he disclosed a bit of news. Thiel is starting a new initiative that will offer grants of up to $100,000 for kids to drop out of school. Yes, you read that right.

Though that’s not how Thiel puts it. Instead, he calls it “stopping out of school.” The basic gist is that he will fund up to 20 kids under the age of 20 who apply for this grant. And it also solves another problem that many young people face today: crippling debt. He’ll be accepting applications for this grant through the end of the year for enrollment in 2011.
