As I understand the U.S. situation, nonprofit and not-for-profit are both types of tax-exempt; nonprofit isn’t not-for-profit-deluxe. But I guess we don’t want to detract from the explanation that follows – the user will care more about the service provided than the legal status in this context. Should we avoid either term and just say it’s a legal entity, unqualified? If we need to emphasize that these entities are noncommercial, we could use that term.
