Churches all feel that way as well.

Universities too. Nothing says "non-profit" like Alabama and USC selling $75 football jerseys and $15 beers at a concession stand, during games which CBS and ESPN pay them billions to broadcast, and whose coaches are the highest paid "educators" in the state.

The coach is usually the highest-paid state employee. I still love SEC football, though.

Our local uni owns a network of hospitals and an assload of property and every time they go to our local or state government to ask them for more of my money someone on their executive board who makes 8 figures/year reminds us that they're a non-profit, that all they want to do is serve the community and that actually we're very fortunate and grateful that they're here at all.
