Wikipedia

  1. not-for-profit

    A not-for-profit or non-for-profit organization (NFPO) is a legal entity that does not distribute surplus funds to it members and is formed to fulfill specific objectives. A NFPO does not earn profit for its owners, as any revenue generated by its activities must be put back into the organization.While not-for-profit organizations and non-profit organizations are distinct legal entities, the terms are sometimes used interchangeably. A NFPO must be differentiated from a non-profit organization (NPO) as it may not be formed explicitly for the public good as an NPO must be, and NFPOs are considered "recreational organizations", meaning that they do not operate with the goal of generating revenue as opposed to NPOs.

Examples of Not-For-Profit in a Sentence

    I don't know. It's been brutal for us, we're basically using the fire of Covid to start some new version. We're changing our school and our theater to not-for-profit. Whether or not we'll be able to get there, I don't know.

  4. Jim Bakke:

    This is the argument: should we have public funding for all these things? Or should we have private funding? i think there's a place for each but we really believe that Christ-centered, values-focused ministries are probably more efficient and can do a more effective job than government intervention. That's why I've dedicated my life to the not-for-profit sector and, in particular, the Christian community, because I really believe that is how we can most effectively help people. And partnering with businesses because we know that business and learning how to do business well brings people out of poverty. Government intervention often is very inefficient.

  5. John Adams:

    Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government; and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it.
