That’s an abuse of non-profits for financial engineering. They’re intended to work exactly like companies, except without a monetary profit for shareholders.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
For non-profits (like 501©(3)'s) that’s not unusual. Non-profits are more like specialized tools for the board of directors than like companies.
