Care to expand? Are there companies doing business while being a non-profit? I’m interested in starting a business but as a way to help a charity or foundation of some aspects close to my heart.

Edit: thought about St. Jude’s hospital but it depends on donations.

You can have a social good corporation or a not-for-profit business and still make tremendous amounts of money. It just means it's not your goal as a business.
