    An NGO or a Not For Profit organization or a Trust can be created to endorse for any useful missions such as sports, education, research activities, animal rescue or shelters, orphanage and rehabilitation centers and more. The term Not for Profit does not state that this NGO or Trust is not permitted to generate profit or an income, but the action to apply the said income into the promotion of their mission and goodwill work. The income or profits of an NGO/Trust are not meant to be distributed to the promoters or shareholders.
