There are two types of businesses: for-profit and non-profit. Whereas the basic goal of a for-profit business is to make profits, non-profit businesses- charities, humanitarian organizations, etc.- have other goals- i.e basically to help human beings. However, non-profit organizations need to be financially sustainable and should take good care of their finances. They may need to achieve surpluses ( excess of revenues over expenditures) to remain viable and for future growth and expansion.
