Just slightly offtopic. I read the term 'not-for-profit' sometime ago. Is
there a difference between 'non-profit' and 'not-for-profit' companies ?
Just asking.

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(Henry David Thoreau)
