I am not an accountant nor do I play one on TV but a few thoughts, Corporations are set up as a Not-For Profit (not non-profits) and it is a tax status. They can make money, they need to basically spend what they take in, not distribute profits to shareholders at the end of the year and I think that they also have a public benefit. People can and do make a lot of money working for not-for profit organizations. I am not sure what a non-profit is but I think my company is a non-profit because we lose money every year, if we ever made money we would pay taxes on earnings.
I also don't think that all of these organizations are Not for Profits 501(c) so too many people are making too many broad statements about why non-profits charge X, ect. does anybody know who is and is not a 501c, I think fl$ is but I am not sure about the others. |
