Home More info Non-profit status

Definition A non-profit organisation is a non-commercial entity, which is not conducted or maintained for the purpose of making a profit. Instead, it operates to serve a public or greater good. Any net earnings by a non-profit organisation are used by the organisation for the purposes for which it was established. A non-profit organisation cannot issue shares and cannot pay dividends. In Biosphere Expeditions' case the greater good is wildlife conservation projects. Having registered non-profit status means that you can rest assured that all income generated through expedition contributions, sponsorship and other means is used exclusively for this conservation projects purpose.
