A Charitable institution needs to be able to fund its operations in the face of variable income and occasional hard times. To do that it needs to accumulate a financial reserve and that requires taking in a bit more than it sends out. It may not be called a "profit" but it performs the same function in the financial life of the institution. The primary difference between this and a truly for profit institution is that besides salaries no individual or group of shareholders owns that extra and it stays under the control of the management.

Do governmental units seek to make a profit?

Governmental units typically do not seek to make a profit in the same way that private businesses do. Their primary goal is to provide services and meet the needs of the public, funded through taxes, fees, and grants. While they may aim for efficiency and cost-effectiveness, any surplus revenue is usually reinvested into public services rather than distributed as profit.
