It is actually quite easy, as this is already defined in all national
legislations that I know of. "For purposes of profit" or similar is
refered to everywhere in Swedish code, at least. We don't have to deal
with that problem; we just refer to existing definitions.

"Not making money" is not enough, as you can make money and still be a
not-for-profit organization.
