In the past, I've referred to the special police project as a "charity project" but because money had been earned, I said it wasn't appropriate to call it that.... A better term, however, might be a humanitarian or philanthropic project.... Would that be accurate? And it wasn't the majority of police who were involved but only a minority.... The intention has been to help people even though money was raised at the same time. When we think of charitable organizations, we usually mean they're not-for-profit.... I think it's fair to call the police project a humanitarian effort which was for-profit as well....
Of course, after it's confirmed that money has been involved people may be skeptical about which intention was greater--the desire to help people or a desire to make profits...? And it's a legitimate question. Nevertheless, I believe a for-profit, humanitarian project is what we've been dealing with.... And this term helps to put things into perspective...!
[For the record, it's not the parties being helped who've paid into the profits but there were other parties who did that.]
