> 5. Operates entirely free from private profit motive

This criteria is impossible to achieve.

Every single employee that is working at a non-profit and draws a salary (it doesn't have to be a high salary) has a presumed profit motive.

They want their employers to remain solvent, which would mean they continue to receive a paycheck, and/or they want their employer to grow so they can be better compensated or giving them a chance to move up in the hierarchy.

Money changing hands isn’t always classified as a profit motivation which is receiving money as a result of prior capital contribution to the entity.
The definition of profit doesn’t include an employees salary even though there is a link between them. It gets a little tricky with executive bonuses and how much influence they have at deciding their own compensation but these large non profits have a lot of lawyers to figure that out
