The majority of non-profit organizations generate money through grants and private donors. Any revenue must be used to pay for rent, utilities, salaries, equipment, supplies, maintenance and repairs. Any leftover profit must be funneled into the organization’s treasury to allow for the continuation of the service. A non-profit organization does not distribute profits to any individual, with the exception of salaries, under any circumstance.
