FAQ

What is the difference between a for-profit and a non-profit organization?

The key thing that defines a For Profit is the way that the program accounts for the money it generates. Non-profit programs generate their income in many different ways but they all have an unpaid board to oversee the governance of the program that has ultimate responsibility to ensure the income is applied to meet the stated aims of the program in an honest and accountable way. This is different to a For Profit which can operate without an accountable board.
