Subtopics
- Charitable sector: A synonym for nonprofit sector based in the characterization of the large class of 501(c)(3) tax exempt and tax deductible entities as "charitable". [e]
- Independent sector: (1) A sector (logical or empirical subset) of civil society independent of or autonomous from government. (2) A national umbrella organization of civil society organizations or nonprofit organizations in Washington DC. [e]
- Informal sector: The set of informal organizations, or membership organizations, clubs, associations and peer groups, as distinguished from formal organizations of paid employees, and "formal" missions or programs. [e]
- Mission-based sector: The origin of this term is Peter Drucker's (1954) observation that the distinctive character of nonprofit organizations is that they are mission-based or centered rather than profit-centered. [e]
- Nongovernmental sector: The category or network of all nongovernmental organizations. [e]
- Nonprofit sector: A sector or category of formal organizations, associations or corporations organized for purposes other than profit and governed by legal or ethical non-distribution constraints. Controversy continues over whether the nonprofit sector defines the third sector or civil society or is merely one of the component parts. [e]
- Nonprofit corporation: Any of a number of types of corporation recognized by tax authorities as subject to nondistribution constraints. [e]
- Social sector: A synonym for third sector based in the distinction of the social from political (state or polity), and economic (market or business). [e]

- Tertiary sector: Term usually applies to the service sector, as opposed to the secondary (manufacturing) sector and the primary sector of agriculture, mining, and fishing. The tertiary sector is easily confused with the third sector of nonprofit, philanthropic organizations and civil society institutions. Although there is overlap between the two concepts. Nearly all third sector establishments are in the tertiary sector (i.e. services) although the largest portion of tertiary sector services are not nonprofits. [e]
