Non profit doesn’t mean they earn nothing

Non profit doesn’t mean they earn nothing

You need a valid business model to keep an organization ticking. Staff doesn't live out of hopes and dreams. It's hard enough to get a for-profit software company to stay up. If your starting point is that the company is not focused on getting a profit then it all sounds as hopes and dreams instead of an actual business plan.

… yes, a non profit is not meant to earn a profit. A profit is earning something more than what you need to be functioning.
