Module 1: Exploring the Features of Businesses

Not-for-Profit Organisations

Nod y rhan fwyaf o fusnesau preifat yw gwneud elw ond mae carfan o fusnesau nad oes ganddynt y nod o wneud elw. Gelwir y rhain yn fusnesau nid-er-elw ac maent yn cynnwys elusennau a busnesau gwirfoddol. Mae elusennau’n bodoli er mwyn codi arian i ariannu eu gwaith yn eu maes diddordeb. Er enghraifft mae Tenovus a sefydlwyd yng Nghaerdydd gan ddeg o ddynion busnes ym 1943 yn codi arian er mwyn rhedeg eu gwasanaethau cefnogaeth ac ymchwil cancr.

But not-for-profit companies aren’t just charities or voluntary organisations. Commercial companies can also operate as not-for-profit companies. For example, Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water, which provides water to homes in Wales, is a not-for-profit company. You can find out more by following the link.
