Many are non-profit, actually. I don't think you understand what that means, though, otherwise you wouldn't have said the above.
Nonprofit (aka not-for-profit) institution:
These institutions are typically the traditional types of colleges that come to mind. Nonprofit institutions usually receive funding from the government, tuition and endowments, and the money received is put back into the curriculum, instruction and other college operations that support students and faculty. These institutions are led by administrators, faculty and staff, often under the direction of a Board of Trustees.
Nonprofit institutions may offer traditional daytime degree programs, as well as hybrid (half on campus, half online), online, or evening and weekend programs. Most nonprofit colleges offer a traditional campus life experience sports teams, student clubs, dorm living and more.

Non-profit doesn't mean you don't get paid; it means the company or institution you work for has to break even at the end of the year, and money made needs to be reinvested or otherwise used for the non-profit (salaries, expenses, rent, etc.)
