Charitable organizations are non-profit groups or institutions that work towards improving the wellbeing and quality of life for individuals, communities, or society as a whole. They typically rely on donations, grants, and fundraising efforts to carry out their activities, which can include providing aid to those in need, promoting social causes, conducting research, and offering support services. Examples of charitable organizations include foundations, trusts, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that focus on areas such as healthcare, education, poverty alleviation, environmental conservation, animal welfare, and disaster relief.
