Thank you, Eberhard!! And, doesn't this raise an interesting question for those in the "development" profession? I would argue, after spending most of my career managing nonprofits orgs., that any nonprofit which isn't investing serious effort in designing creative ways to generate profits is being seriously mismanaged. I cannot speak from experience outside the USA, but here there is nothing to prohibit a "nonprofit" from making as much profit as it can. The restrictions are on how that profit is distributed.
Nonprofit managers should be generating all the profit they can and plowing it back into mission/services/good works for which the org. exists! (Assuming those "good works" are worthy of add'l sypport!)
