 Non-profit organization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A primary difference between a non-profit and a for-profit corporation is that a non-profit does not issue dividends, and may not enrich its directors.
Such "organizations" are often charities or service organizations; they may be organized as a not-for-profit corporation or as a trust, a cooperative or they may be purely informal.
Although the characteristic of not earning or "making" a profit is widely believed by the general public to be definitive, most experts today agree that it is actually legal and ethical restrictions on the distribution of profits to owners or shareholders that is the defining characteristic of nonprofits.

Creating a not-for-profit corporation is a bit like building your own swimming pool – it's a surprisingly complicated job and you won't know what works until it's too late.
Unfortunately, creation of an Illinois not-for-profit corporation, by itself, does not entitle your organization to any form of tax exemption.
