What's "the NFP space"? I googled but all I find is random local clubs and companies called NFP, none of which look like powerful lobby clubs.

People usually call i t NGO for non-government organisation. Not For Profit is just another euphemism. In casual conversation people usually say nonprofit. Or if they feel fancy, a 501.c3 nonprofit. In the US. Not sure how these work in other countries.

Try the likes of the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation, the beneficial owners of Rolex who operate under the guise of a charity.

There is no requirement to disclose financial or charitable donations under law, and the company pays no corporate taxes as a result of being owned by the Foundation.

Not for profit.

Covers full charities, and other legal statuses like public beneficials etc.
