Is this not a reasonable suggestion? Any organisation which is unable to ensure its financial survival will by definition go extinct and so be unable to achieve anything else.

There's a huge difference between saying "ensure financial survival" and "their primary purpose is to get paid".

One puts money above everything. The other considers it a mean for a higher purpose.

Can you tell the difference?
