Note
A plural that only the noun can make. The noun is a shortening of nonprofit organization, so nonprofits are organizations that exist for reasons other than profit: charities, educational bodies, service groups. The adjective it was shortened from never takes -s, so write nonprofit groups or nonprofit hospitals, not nonprofits groups. When the word stands alone, as in grants for nonprofits, it is the noun and takes the plural.
