My question involves business law in the state of: Texas

Can a non-profit organization get most of its funds by selling things it produces (and donate the profits to a charitable cause)?

Can it also own patents and license them?

I want to start a business and donate the profits to help reduce world poverty - can I register it as a non-profit?
Yes, yes, and possibly.

What is usually meant by non-profit is tax-exempt. A tax-exempt company can make a profit and be tax-exempt depending on what it does with the profit.

You can learn all about it on the IRS website:
