There is a huge general misconception about the term non-profit. It doesn’t mean that people can’t make money on it, making big salaries, even lavish offices, perks and sucking money into the organization. There could be an entire reddit sub on this topic, how NGO, non-profit, Fair Trade descriptions are misconstrued to mean that it’s altruistic or people are working there in poverty. I know many who have quit good jobs in regular publicly traded corporations and make more money in NGO work.
