Not4Profit Inc. is a not-for-profit corporation registered by Nicholas Peat that was born out of concern for the ecologically compromised state of the planet. Not4Profit is intended as: 1. an articulation of administration space and a play on the aesthetics of bureaucracy; 2. a creative department that encompasses a production area and archive; and, 3. a meeting room, incubator and/or ideas factory. Furthermore, the exhibition sets out to blur the lines between what is defined as an exhibition, a not-for-profit corporation, an ongoing and generative relational art piece and a conceptual art project.

From the Not4Profit Manifesto:

- Our continuing mission is to investigate and question the philosophies of value that govern human behaviour and its harmful environmental effects.

- We are interested in articulating alternative modes of exchange that might mitigate these effects.

- We wish to challenge what the value motivations are that fuel blatant planetary disregard and produce a general malaise toward affirmative environmental action.
