Explanation of Solution

Not-for-profit (NFP) entities: It is an individual or group of people who work together to attain the goals and mission that is something other than making profit for its shareholders or owners. Not-for-profit entities’ success is measured by how much the entity serves to the well-being of public or poor people with the available resource of the entity.

    • Country A Diabetes Association.
    • Country A Cancer Society.
    • Country A Heart association.
  2. College and universities: It is a self-explanatory category and these kinds of organizations provide education service to the students at low or free of cost. The state or federal support organizations or private education trusts are examples of college and university not-for-profit entities.
