Public Benevolent Institution (PBI)
A Public Benevolent Institution (PBI) is a non-profit institution organised for the direct relief of poverty, sickness, suffering, distress, misfortune, disability or helplessness. The characteristics of a PBI are:

It relieves those needs by directly providing services to people suffering them
It is carried on for the public benefit
It is non-profit
It is an institution, and
Its dominant purpose is providing benevolent relief.
Examples of PBIs are organisations that:

Provide hostel accommodation for the homeless
Treat sufferers of disease
Provide home help for the aged and the infirm
Transport the sick or disabled, or
Rescue people who are lost or stranded.
