First sentence: Although charitable, educational, and religious organizations (such as the Roman Catholic Church) are thousands of years old and some in the United States (such as Harvard College) were founded in colonial times, the concept of "nonprofit organizations" as a unified and coherent "sector" dates back only to the 1970s.
