A nonprofit foundation is a business that receives tax deductible donations from individuals and businesses or grants from other non-profit foundations for the purpose of supporting charitable work either through performing the function themselves or providing grants to other non-profits which performs the charitable work. Nonprofit organizations usually provide services not performed by for-profit businesses or governmental agencies.
