Under the IRS, there are many types of classifications that non-profit organizations can categorize themselves as. Often one of the most popular and most recognized types of organizations are charities that run as non-profit organizations. Hudson residents should know that many charities are different, and they often have different beneficiaries of their non-profit work. It is safe to assume that a charity can be made for any reason, but there are some groups or subjects that receive more attention than others. Here are some of the most popular types of charities that usually also file for non-profit status.

Various Animal Charities

Animal charities are probably one of the most recognizable non-profit organizations that people are exposed to. This is partly because there are many ways organizations can help animals from wildlife to pets. With animal non-profit organizations, Hudson residents might find these companies working as animal shelters and clinics, to working within national and wildlife parks for preservation efforts. Animal non-profits are also known to help animals in zoos and aquariums, most likely for rehabilitation purposes to release these animals back into the wild. Another reason why animal charities are so popular as non-profit organizations is because they can even find work with hunting and fishing conservation efforts.

International NGOs

International organizations are another popular form of non-profit organizations. Hudson residents are more likely to see these companies when there is some big event like a natural disaster or another humanitarian crisis. Non-profit organizations of international efforts may find themselves in situations concerned with human rights efforts and peace keeping missions. It is even possible for another organization such as an animal charity as discussed above can be represented as an international Non-governmental organization. This is a bigger organization concerned with environmental efforts and conservation.
