What are organizations that are in the business of benefiting society and operate like a business called?

Answer:
Hi - if the organisation is a profit making company and all of its profits go to shareholders then that is still classed as a business. However if the organisation makes profits but a large (usually over 50)% (or all) of these profits are re-invested into the community then that is called a Community Interest Company. This is in the UK by the way.
