Noah, You are correct that a non-profit organization does not have owners and thus does not produce profits for distribution to owners. Instead, it has a board of directors with a legal duty to assure it operates consistent with its non-profit mission. Owen is correct that in every other respect, a non-profit organization functions like any ordinary business. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin b...@herrin.us https://bill.herrin.us/
