Nonprofit Organizations play a vital role in our Rochester community by focusing resources and providing services to community needs without regard to profit. See our Talk Page for additional terminology and discussion of not-for-profit organizations.
On this and related pages we include a variety of organizations, some more formally organized than others. Some of the nonprofit organizations, such as hospitals, are categorized into separate collections, either here or on separate pages.
