A non-profit organization (abbreviated as NPO, also known as a not-for-profit organization) is an organization that does not distribute its surplus funds to owners or shareholders, but instead uses them to help pursue its goals. Examples of NPOs include charities (i.e. charitable organizations), trade unions, and public arts organizations. Attorneys who work with non-profit organizations help in establishing and operating a non-profit within the requirements of the law, deal with issues of taxation, corporate governance, telephone solicitation and charitable fraud.
Pisek is a city in Walsh County, North Dakota in the United States. The population was 96 at the 2000 census. Pisek was founded in 1882, by Czech and Moravian settlers. Pisek was chosen as the name partly because some of the settlers had come from Pisek in the modern Czech Republic, and also because the town was built near a sand ridge and Pisek means sand in Czech.
