Key Differences Between Non-Profit and Not for Profit

  1. Non-profit organizations work for charitable purposes while Not for profit are small groups that are formed for some common interest.
  2. The profits earned are used in managing the expenses for meeting the goal and no profit is used for any personal gain. They do not have employees but volunteers working for them. Similarly, Not for profit does not aim at making profits, however, whatever revenue is earned is first used to pay off salaries are the remaining money is put back in business. There are no shareholders
  3. Since non-profit organizations have to justify where they have used the money accounting standards are much stricter. Not for Profit do not have to report revenues to the public and hence have less strict accounting policies
  4. Non-profit organizations are run by a large group of people in comparison to Not for profit organizations
  5. Non-profit organizations can form a separate legal entity and are tax-exempt on the other hand not for profit cannot form a separate legal entity and are not tax-exempt
  6. Charity, fundraising is the ways in which non-profit organizations can increase revenues, however, not for profit increase revenues by sales and profits

What is Not for Profit Organization?

Not for Profit organizations do not earn profits for its owners. All the earned money is donated to the not for profit organization that pursues the organization’s objectives. These organizations are typically charities or other types of public welfare organizations. They are not exempt from taxation but can apply for tax-exempt status. Donations made to these tax-exempt, not for profit organizations may be tax-deductible for the donor

One thing to note here is that these organizations do not pay sales or property taxes. For example, if a church is established as a, not for profit organization it will not pay property tax. It is accepts clothing as donations and sells it to use the money for the charitable purpose it will not pay property tax even if it’s using the church as a store. However, they have to pay taxes on the payroll of their employees

What is a Non-Profit Organization?

Non Profit organizations are business which is granted tax-exempt status. Also, donations made to these organizations are tax-deductible to the entity that makes it. However, they have to make their operations and financial status open to the public so that the donors know that their contribution has been used effectively. They do not pay any income tax on the money they raise through donations and the money they receive in fundraising. They are also referred to as NPO’s.

Commutative Justice

Commutative justice refers to that which is owed between individuals, such as in conducting business transactions. Commutative justice calls for fundamental fairness in all agreements and exchanges between individuals or private social groups. It is distinguished from other forms of justice, such as contributive justice, which refers to what individuals owe to society for the common good; legal justice, which refers to rights and responsibilities of citizens to obey and respect the rights of all and the laws devised to protect peace and social order; and distributive justice, which refers to what society owes to its individual members, i.e., the just allocation of resources. Restitution in moral theology signifies an act of commutative justice by which exact reparation as far as possible is made for an injury that has been done to another.

DISTRIBUTIVE JUSTICE

The term distributive justice refers to fairness in the way things are distributed, caring more about how it is decided who gets what, rather than what is distributed. In modern society, this is an important principle, as it is generally expected that all goods will be distributed throughout society in some manner. In a society with a limited amount of resources and wealth, the question of fair allocation is often a source of debate and contention. This is called distributive justice. To explore this concept, consider the following distributive justice definition.

Definition of Distributive Justice
