170. Being "non-profit" doesn't mean people aren't making money.
Edited on Sun Jul-27-08 01:50 PM by Atman
It just means that the non-profit entity is not making moeny. They cannot show a profit when the books are done. But they can pay nice salaries, they can sell programs, they can do everything a "for profit" company can...except make money. The term non-profit is too often used interchangeably with terms denoting angelic behavior or altruism. Sure many non-profits are genuinely "good," but just being a non-profit doesn't make one so.
