German term or phrase: gemeinnütziger Verein
Wie nennt man so etwas auf Englisch.
Ich habe gefunden: "friendly society" - gefällt mir aber nicht besonders gut. Das "gemeinnützig" kommt m.E. gar nicht rüber. Habt ihr einen besseren Vorschlag (oder den legalen Ausdruck)?
Tausend Dank

agree  Nancy Arrowsmith: in US, the correct translation. A Verein does not have to be charitable, it can just be a bunch of sports fans, or beekeepers.

Explanation:
Dietl/Lorenz Rechtswörterbuch

Charitable hat vielleicht eher den Schwerpunkt auf "gemeinnützig". Non-profit eher den steuerlichen Aspekt.
