Yes, it is, but you may be confused about the meaning of 'profit'.

Even someone who volunteers in the local soup kitchen feeding the 
homeless is doing so under the profit motive. The things is, the 
'profit' involved (may) only involve(s) a 'warm fuzzy good feeling'.

If you read my previous words, I said it wasn't always (though I think 
it is usually) some kind of 'financial' profit.
