True Non-Profit¶
True Non-Profit is a public knowledge base about non-profits, public-benefit institutions, and the assessment of how true a non-profit is to its stated mission.
Thesis¶
A non-profit is not made true by tax status, branding, virtue language, or the absence of shareholders. A non-profit is true when control, money, labor, decisions, and outcomes are ordered around a public-benefit mission rather than private extraction or institutional self-preservation.
Trueness is the measurable distance between formal non-profit status and actual mission-governed public-benefit behavior.
What This Knowledge Base Builds¶
- A first-principles explanation of what non-profits are for.
- A 100-point trueness scale.
- A repeatable assessment method.
- A public register structure for assessed organizations.
Current Status¶
This is draft 0.1. The assessment register intentionally starts without scored real-world organizations. Organizations should only receive scores after a dedicated evidence file exists with public source links and reviewer notes.
