What is the difference between a nonprofit and a 501c3?

While a nonprofit corporation is a state-level designation, the 501(c)(3) status is a federal, nationwide designation awarded by the IRS. If a group has 501(c)(3) status, then it is exempt from federal income tax, which often also means you dont need to pay state income taxes either.
