Thanks for the feedback.

Don't they both go hand in hand? How can it be an effective organization if it is not revenue generating?

In a capitalist world it is not often you see effective organizations that are non profits.

Maybe I am being a little naive here.

No.

Revenue is not the same as profit (return to investors).

In a capitalist world, it is not often that you see organizations that are effective at things other than generating profits and externalizing harms.

When you do, they generally are nonprofits.
