Does the term "the Third Sector" need replacing as a description of the not-for-profit, voluntary, community, NGO sector?

Can you suggest any good alternatives to "the Third Sector" to describe the sector? Some people argue "nonprofit" or "not-for-profit" are inconveniently negative (and actually US terms for tax-exempt bodies), "voluntary" perpetuates the public's idea that charity workers (should) work for love not money, and "third sector" as suggesting third rate compared to the private and public sectors.

Or should we just ignore the issue and just get on with our work?
