There are many kinds of nonprofit organizations, yet the shared characteristic of charitable ones is that they exist to provide a service to the general public or a significantly large segment of the population. Examples of nonprofit charitable corporations include adult literacy programs, visiting nurse associations, child and family services, and cultural and arts organizations.
