Social sector

Social sector

Social sector is one of several terms created as alternatives to nonprofit sector and nongovernmental sector. The latter are seen as putting an emphasis on what this sector is not, rather than calling attention to its focus on a social mission.

Other terms that have been proposed are voluntary sector, third sector, independent sector and mission-based sector.
