Although non-profit doesn't mean charity. Non-profits simply mean they're income needs to be balanced with their expenses, such as through wasteful (or polarizing) spending in the example of Mozilla.
- asadotzler 3y agoThat is not what non-profit means. It means that the IRS does not tax you. There are many different kinds of non-profits and none of them are required to balance income and expenses -- many save far more than they spend and some spend more than they save, they're simply not pulling profits out for investors.
- nhumrich 3y agoThats also not what non profit means. There are many kinds of non-profits and some of them aren't exempt. There is a no tax incentive to non profits that qualify (501c), but the definition is, quite literally, that they can't turn a profit. In other words, excess cash cannot be divied out among its owners.
