Minutes ago, I told my friends about a non-profit I wanted to start, and my opinion about profiting through them. I think that I might have lost a few decent friends through this arguement, I was at a table with several people, and three of them had to walk away angry. Not a single person at the table, or around where we were talking, could agree with my opinion. My opinion was that If someone is helping people with a charity, they deserve to be compensated for their time, and that nothing is wrong with making a profit through a non-profit if you are helping people. I told them that everyone does almost everything for money, and that non-profits were no different. I know that they all see me as a money hungry, but I never expected anyone to get this angry. How would you play devils advocate and argue for making a profit through a non-profit or charity? What do you think of profiting through charities?
