The great majority of non-profit organizations are started with the lofty goal of a cause such as improving or enhancing the lives of a specifically targeted group in their community, with services ranging from child day care for low income mothers to group homes for mentally disabled individuals to saving the environment.  The leadership of the founding individuals of a nonprofit for a cause are the first donors to the nonprofit, volunteers and expected members of the philanthropic nature expected to be reached by the nonprofit.  These non-profits serve a much-needed function around the state or country by picking up where government programs or causes often fall short.  Many of these organizations are small, serving a very specific segment of communities, allowing them to the opportunity to truly get to know who their clients are, what the communities needs are and how best to serve them. 

Extraordinary people with an extra-ordinary desire to improve communities run these non-profits, and who often dedicate and donate much of their free time their whole lives towards helping the cause.  A number of these organizations have donors who wish to remain anonymous.
