A 'not for profit corporation' is a term that applies to a corporation (usually non-share) whose objects do not qualify as charitable (i.e., an industry advocacy group or a political association) and is operated for any purpose except profit, and if a profit is earned it is not paid to the members. A charity can be any group, trust, corporation or other entity whose objects do qualify as charitable.
