CMP Reclaimed Garand

I explained in detail in my previous answer to your question. They aren't paying for the rifles perse, they are paying for everything that is required to sell safe to fire rifles to the public. That is what is driving the cost. CMP is not making a profit, CMP is paying all those infrastructure fees and more for competitions. Congress pays for none of this. The buyer pays for this.

CMP is not making a profit? Where did you get this? Try looking up the CMP 990 tax filing and get back to us.

Cash flow. Any not for profit can't continue to operate and pay for future programs without either cash on hand or taking out loans. The sportsman's club I belong to is a not for profit, yet it "makes a profit" if you count we have money in the bank. It isn't a profit, it pays for future bills, maint., clays, infrastructure, buying a new tractor/mower, rebuilding target frames, equipment so the Boy Scouts can camp there, etc. etc. etc. CMP is a big operation and requires big payments.

Yes, nonprofits can make a profit. Unlike traditional businesses, where profit benefits owners or investors, nonprofits use surplus funds to further their mission. The key is that while nonprofits generate revenue above expenses, it’s not for personal gain but to support charitable goals. This distinction is critical for understanding nonprofit finance and is governed by regulations such as Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, which outlines requirements for tax-exempt organizations.

Well-managed nonprofits can create a surplus to grow and innovate. This surplus helps enhance services, expand outreach, and build financial reserves. During economic downturns or reduced funding, a financial cushion ensures continuity of programs and boosts long-term impact.
