This is a very good question. Yes, this money would technically be considered a profit. However, nonprofit organizations that have been grated 501(c)(3) status with the IRS must have a plan for the money or else they have to distributed it to another nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.
This is not generally an issue for most of these qualifying organzations are funded by community members and grants from larger organizations. The grants are given after a purposal and budget have been approved. These budgets are pretty tight. Most of these types of organizations are running with just enough funds to get by.
The tax form that is filed by nonprofits would be Form 990.
Good luck!
you seem not to understand the idea of 'non-profit'
Profit
non profit means like its not doing something to make money. like a organization to help africans can be "nonprofit" The commerical said that the organization was a non profit organization and they just wanted to help the sick and needy.
Net Profit is known as the bottom line. It is how much money is earned after all costs of production, expenses, and taxes are removed.
Gross profit is the amount left over after all expenses have been paid. The owner or owners or share holders do get to keep that money but, part of it and probably most of it will be put back into the business to help the business grow.
Can a nonprofit foundation give money to a for profit organization
The objectives of a nonprofit and a for profit business is to make money. Nonprofits handle the monies they collect much differently than for profit organizations.
Generally, Gross receipts for a non - profit organization can be defined as the amount of money raised from all sources in a fiscal year without being any expenses subtracted.
Organizations do many things. Even non profit organizations need money to operate and accomplish things. For profit organizations need money to perform a service as well as to make a profit.
The term nonprofit or not-for-profit does not mean there is no money in the organization, in fact most organizations deal with very large amounts of money flowing through out the organization. In fact when you look at the difference between how a NPO's money is handled and how a for profit enterprise handles their money you will see that the only difference is that there are no stock holders and the money is generally donated to NPO's and earned by for-profits.
Profit.

Most of the money received by nonprofit organizations comes from individual donations, grants from foundations, corporate sponsorships, and government funding. Fundraising events and programs also play a significant role in generating revenue for nonprofits.
Over the past decade, there has been a great change in how the economy works and the funds for nonprofit sectors have decreased considerably. These organizations have had to come up with creative and new ideas on how to fund their programs. Funds are cut for non-profit organizations and are being paid late, which leaves the non-profit stuck with the bill until money comes through. Non-profits are learning to only make short-term commitments and cut out long-term investments, and these companies are learning to stay small instead of growing too large, so that funding is still available. Providing information to funders is also key, because any left out expenses will cost the non-profit in the future. These companies are required to make better models for the outlay of the business, while including the cost of hiring employees, and paying out expenses to missions.
Profit
The relationship between the two is that risk is needed to make a profit. A profit is money left over after expenses have been paid. To have expenses you need to take risks.
