I was told that a nonprofit must use any money it makes for operations or philanthropic purposes, and a not-for-profit doesn't set out to make a profit but can keep it if it does (i.e. a hospital is a not-for-profit entity). I didn't say that was definitely the difference between a GLO and the GLO's foundation, just maybe.
