Nonprofit Versus For-Profit. The purposes for establishing and maintaining nonprofit organizations and for-profit businesses differ significantly. The main purpose of a for-profit company is to produce income above and beyond expenses; the products or services provided by the company are a means to that end.
Non-profit organizations are run differently from for-profit organizations in that any funds they make beyond their internal expenses go to a goal they have committed to. For example, a health research organization would raise funds, pay its expenses and salaries and apply surplus funds to its cause. A non-profit's business manager oversees the structure of the organization with the cause foremost in his mind.
