Organization that does not seek profit
An organization that is made to help people or serve a public goal, not to make money for owners, and that uses extra money to support its work.
用法パターン：
a nonprofit [organization/group/institution]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes confuse “nonprofit” with “not profitable.” A nonprofit can earn a surplus; the key point is that it does not pay that surplus to owners or shareholders but uses it for its mission. Learners also vary in spelling it as “non-profit”; both appear, but “nonprofit” (one word) is now very common, especially in US English.
類義語
charity (Often used in everyday speech for organizations that help people, but many nonprofits are not strictly charities (for example, professional associations or museums).)
対義語
for-profit company (A business that is designed to earn profits for owners or shareholders, instead of reinvesting all surplus into a mission.)

Not intended to make a profit
Describes an organization or activity that is made to help people or serve a public goal, not to make money for owners, and that uses extra money to support its work.

a nonprofit [organization/institution/hospital/project]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes use “nonprofit” for any business that is not currently making money. However, “nonprofit” is about the purpose and legal structure, not about whether the organization is successful. A company that loses money is not automatically a nonprofit. Spelling varies between “nonprofit” and “non-profit”; both are understood.
類義語
not-for-profit (Very close in meaning and often interchangeable, but slightly more formal and legal-sounding in some contexts.)
対義語
for-profit (Describes organizations or activities that are designed mainly to generate profit for owners or investors.)
