a non-profit does generate a revenue. it disperses that revenue to further it's goals rather than dispersing that revenue as a profits to employees or shareholders. it is allowed to retain a portion of those 'profits' for expansion or business expenses.
goodwill generates a healthy revenue every year. it uses that money to help the poor. rather than putting the profits in the pockets of the management, employees or shareholders.
that non-profit designation keeps that revenue from being taxed which allows for more money to be used for goodwill's mission goals.
which means that non-profits are always looking for a source of revenue. all you have to do is qualify as a vendor and present the best return for the items you are buying.
