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.
I would suggest two other ways for businesses to partner with a nonprofit:nn1. Become a customer. Many nonprofits run social enterprises that sell items. For example, a local retailer could buy wholesale products that a nonprofit produces. Some offer services such as packaging, janitorial, landscaping, etc.nn2. Hire from nonprofits.
