Structure Q&A:Profits
As a
non-profit can you make a
profit?
Yes! IRS tax-exemption does not mean that a nonprofit can't be "in the black." Nonprofits can even own for-profits. However, because no one owns a nonprofit, the organization must adhere to certain rules about how profits are spent. In Structure Lab, you will explore hybrid models, holding companies and other structures that simultaneously allow you to leverage your revenue and protect your mission.
