My Nonprofit Reviews

Diana, I don't have anything to do with this organization, actually, I don't even live in Maryland, but I am concerned by your comment. With no doubt, you need some general enlightenment: a nonprofit can charge for services provided, receive donations, etc. That doesn't mean they are making a profit... they may use their funds in order to support their cause. Besides, they may have salaries to pay, electricity and so on.
That the "nonprofit" denomination in this country is really tricky (I am Italian), I completely agree with you, however, there are such organizations like GOODWILL, that you don't want to know how much they share between executives... A LOT! But you have others like CAUSA Hispana, that is handled by all volunteers and their ratio donations to help is over 107%.
I hope this clarifies your uncertainty...
