The fourth sector, which is composed of “for‐benefit” enterprises, can play a fundamental and positive role for the community, particularly in the context of the COVID‐19 pandemic. It supports public organizations and protects disadvantaged populations. Further research is suggested on the cross‐sectoral collaboration based on non‐profit motivations during the pandemic.
