gemeinnützig synonyms
What's the difference between gemeinnützig, non-profit, nicht gewinnorientiert, ehrenamtlich, karitativ, ohne Gewinnerzielungsabsicht, and freiwillig
An English loanword used in German for organizations or activities not aimed at profit, especially in formal or international contexts.
Very close to the core meaning: emphasizes that an activity or organization is not aimed at making profit; common in business and legal language.
Means voluntary and unpaid work; not the same as 'nonprofit' because it describes the form of work, not the purpose of an organization.
Emphasizes a charitable, helping purpose; it may be nonprofit, but the focus is on aid to people in need.
A very precise, often legal formulation meaning there is no intention to generate profit, especially as an official status description.
Advanced: broader words
Means voluntary or done by choice; it refers to the absence of coercion, not necessarily to the absence of profit.
