THE FRAME ARTICLE · BOUNDING RULES STATED ONCE, HERE
The nonprofit sector of this ground divides in two, and the division is this section's frame. The first half is the money-and-governance half, told here: corporations whose work is to hold, pool, grant, govern or convene — the business association, the community foundation, the schools' foundation and scholarship endowments, the development corporation, the neighbourhood corporations, the civic leagues as corporations, the arts and preservation bodies as corporations, and the exempt register that counts them all. The second half is the doing half, and it is told elsewhere in this build, deliberately, so that no organisation is counted twice. Charities proper — the relief, food, shelter and benevolent organisations, and the charity clinics of the health record — stand in the Charities and Health legs. The service societies, congregations and their auxiliaries stand in the Religion section, which carries the parish and church corporations as worshipping bodies. The township trustees' poor relief and the fire territory stand in the Government leg, as public, not nonprofit, governance. The leagues and clubs that play — Harris baseball and softball, the Echo soccer club, the bicycle and radio-control clubs of the register — stand in the Sports leg, which carries their playing record; they appear here only as register entries. Where an organisation lives in both halves — the Granger Business Association, which both convenes business and builds township park fields; the Conservatory of Dance, an arts school that is also a 501(c)(3) corporation — this section takes the corporate fact (the charter, the exemption, the money) and leaves the work's history to its home leg. One further boundary governs everything below: this section counts corporations, not goodness. A homeowners' association that sues over a fence and a foundation that endows a scholarship are the same legal animal, and on this ground, where no incorporated municipality exists, that animal is a large part of how the place is actually governed.
