Does that all mean that running a non-profit is more lucrative than running a for-profit business? Hmmmmmm......
Non-profits make money, they just call it something other than “profit.”
Non profit means nothing more than all revenue is allocated before you get to the final line about “profit”. Like counting “votes” until you get the right answer.
Same scam as movie studios. All income is earmarked. Profit is, by definition, 0. That way any investor who stupidly tied his return to profit get nothing. Just keep skimming the revenue until none is left.
Never do a deal on “net”, always “gross”.
