2492-453: Is granted by the federal government via the IRS. This means that not all nonprofits are eligible to be tax-exempt.

Either in the form of higher wages, more comprehensive benefit packages, or less tedious work,

2759-476: Is unique in which source of income works best for them. With an increase in NPOs since 2010, organizations have adopted competitive advantages to create revenue for themselves to remain financially stable.
