Question

What is the most interesting not-for-profit venture you know of (anywhere in the world)?

Answer 1

Mine

LOL.  I have a small hotel in Santa Fe New Mexico. www.casadeltoro.com.  I have worked very hard to build it up and now I am going to give it all away.  We are going to use it for a shelter/learning center for homeless teenagers.  

It will be used for different purposes at different times of the year.  In the winter when it's really cold.  We will use it for a shelter for the kids to stay in.  They will get training on how to run an inn, and hopefully by the time spring comes around they will have the basic skills to get a job.

In the spring summer and fall when it is busy here, some of the kids will stay on, and work at the inn.

I could sell the Hotel for a bunch of money and move to Mexico and never work again.

That is why I think it is the most interesting, and most important non profit that I know of.  I think that the goal of everyone in America is to get rich and then rock the bling, and the cars and the cribs.  

I think people should get rich so that they can help others.  And when they do they should give massive amounts of it away.

I am not the least bit impressed by stars like Oprah, and Bono who talk about all the things they do but do not really give away much of what they have.

Oprah is a Billionaire, and she built a school in Africa.  The amount of money it cost her is about the equivalent of you or I having a really nice dinner.

If Jesus was a Billionaire you would see houses and schools and hospitals all over the world

Thousands of them

Not just one.

Peace out

Answer 2

The International Red Cross/Red Crescent/Red Crystal

humanitarian missions throughout the world.

Answer 3

every little things that are being shared by people, rich or poor..known and unknown are good acts of not profit venture.

i know that you maybe asking for a structured registered non-profit so you will surely knows that the help is being given to the benefactors. it is a good rule of thumb to follow the  rules, and to have an organization where there is fair. the most interesting non-profit venture that i encountered or seen are the works of red cross, unicef, and the Sister Teresa Avila.
