What's a Not For Profit?

I feel pretty dumb asking this, but what exactly is a “not for profit?” I keep hearing I should look for a job at a not for profit, but I don’t even know what it is. And are there paying jobs or is it all volunteering?

Including a Writing Sample in a Job Application

Thanks.
