Think of non-profits as any other business - except there are no owners. No shares, no voting. Nobody can say they own 50% of this company and so are worth X on paper because of the value.
Everything else operates the same. People have jobs and get salaries. The company sells things and makes revenue. It can make profits if it makes more than it spends. Nonprofits can have millions sitting in their account but that money doesn't belong to any person because there's no ownership, and usually the bylaws and govt regulations mandate they reinvest it into the business aggressively.
