Hi All, I'm wondering if someone can clarify the difference between public non-profits and private non-profits for me. My understanding is that they primary differ by funding sources. Are there other ways to distinguish them? Would a private non-profit operate under a different collections policy than a public non-profit? Thanks for your input!
