Mission-based organization

{{Short description|Synonym for nonprofit}}

Mission-based organization is often used as an alternative to terms such as non-profit and non-governmental organization.

Mission-based organizations range from formally incorporated foundations and philanthropic agencies to informal neighborhood groups that undertake an ad hoc project.

They may be faith-based organizations, or secular organizations assisting in neighborhood welfare or improvement.[https://books.google.com/books?id=o6SWDwAAQBAJ&dq=Mission-based+organization&pg=PR11 Mission-based management: Leading your not-for-profit in the 21st century].[https://heinonline.org/hol-cgi-bin/get_pdf.cgi?handle=hein.journals/hecforum17§ion=4 Values based decision making: organizational mission and integrity].
