Definition(s)

  • The third sector is an intermediary realm between the private business sector, the public sector, and the personal sector comprising family and friends. As the sum total of not-for-profit enterprises and voluntary associations within a society, the concept of the third sector is often used interchangeably with two betterknown terms: the voluntary sector and the nonprofit sector.
