not for profit
Too bad you already chose your answer, it's wrong.
The correct answer is not for profit.
At first glance you might think that it's the same thing - it isn't.
Non-profit means "sem lucros" meaning the firm can never make a profit.
Not for profit means "sem fins lucrativos" but, of course a profit can occur at any particular time. If it were "non-profit" they'd have to give the money away, wouldn't they? They don't!
It's just that their OBJECTIVE is something other than profit.
