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.
Sometimes nonprofits make money in ways that aren't related to their nonprofit purposes. While nonprofits can usually earn unrelated business income without jeopardizing their nonprofit status, they have to pay corporate income taxes on it, under both state and federal corporate tax rules.
