Assuming the money they get is going back into developing the non-profits & funding their activities, rather than say going to "shareholders", I'd say it's all non-commercial. Even selling merch, running ads etc. If the money is going to a good cause then just use our fonts for free!

Chequered Ink - Designer Chequered Ink is a font designer that since 2011 has created 1,172 free fonts. Every font is free to download.

What are the non-profits if you don't mind me asking? Our fonts are free for "non-commercial" use, if that would be the case for you, you can just download & use any of them from here :) www.fontspace.com/chequered-ink
