According to BoardSource, the United States is home to more than 1.6 million nonprofit organizations. Nonprofits provide a variety of services to the public, including feeding the homeless, tutoring children and providing scholarships. Public charities, foundations, social advocacy groups and trade organizations are common types of nonprofit organizations.
