I thought making a profit was definitely not a goal for not-for-profits, but I wonder if "to continue to exist" is too vague.

I feel like "to maintain the growth of the organisation" could be a trick option. Not-for-profits focus more on impact than growth, right?

I remember practicing a similar question where we discussed the importance of sustainability for not-for-profits. Maybe "to continue to exist" is a key point here?

Wait, I'm a little confused. Isn't the main goal of a not-for-profit just to continue existing and operating? I'm not sure if that's the same as satisfying a particular sector. I'll have to re-read the question more closely.

Okay, I've got this. The primary objective of a not-for-profit is to serve a particular sector of society, not to maintain growth or make a profit. I'm confident option A is the right answer here.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know not-for-profits don't aim to make a profit, but I'm not totally clear on what their main goal is. I'll have to think this through carefully.

If a non-profit's goal was to make a profit, they'd have to change their name to 'for-profit'!

Making a profit? In a non-profit organization? That's like a penguin trying to fly - it's just not going to happen! A is the clear choice.
