All charities are a business. This gets posted because people misunderstand what a legal charity actually is and how they function. People believe charities are inherently righteous and good. The reality is, they are a legal entity designed to avoid taxation and solicit funds. That's it. Everything else depends on who's running it. There is nothing inherently good about charities/non-profit.

Which is also why the better known they are the less likely they are to actually use your contribution on the thing for which you donated. Commonly, even good charities have little money actually reach its destination.
