In the U.S. it's fairly easy to determine non-profit from for-profit 
organizations, since all organizations have to declare their tax status. 
You can look organizations up in the Nonprofit database Guidestar 
(http://www.guidestar.org/). Most educational institutions are 
registered as non-profit corporations (even private universities). 
There's no way to make the same determination for individuals, however 
individual use doesn't seem to be the main concern here.
