Property prices are at an all time low and interest rates are virtually zero. There is plenty of federal funding for nonprofit loans. What you need is to have a stable donation base. If you do, start expanding and buying property.
You might ask what nonprofits ( in some areas they are called not for profits ) have to do with pro-commerce. The answer is simple. Businesses can organize themselves in many ways from cooperative, sole proprietor, partnership, corporation to nonprofit. The term non-profit is merely a technical and tax based description of an organizational form.
Nonprofits are sometimes the appropriate form for an organization. Such an organization is subject to the same issues in the market as any other organization.
Nonprofits have a slight disadvantage over other forms in their inability to get loans on their net revenue and their further inability to generate equity or reward employees with ownership.
