It's all in the way money comes in and out and how the government takes it away. A profit-aimed organization can also be called RICH!

association, concern, corporation, enterprise, establishment, firm, house, megacorp*, multinational, outfit, partnership, syndicate

The word "corporation" has a specific meaning in law where it is an artificial person, an entity with legal rights, priviliges, and obligations of its own.
