Russian term

НП

Russian to English Law/Patents
вид предприятия. Я нашла, что это некоммерческое партнерство (есть еще некоммерческое предприятие). Интересует перевод и есть ли сокращение в англ. Noncommercial/nonprofit organisation/partnership или совсем другое?

non-profit organisation

or "not for profit organization".
