Now I'm just outright confused! The NMB page, which appears to simply  
be Prolacta's collection arm, states: (emphasis is mine)

"National Milk Bank (NMB), the nation's first **non-profit** virtual  
human milk donation organization,"

"The National Milk Bank (NMB) is a nationwide, **non-profit**  
organization that collects donated human milk, ensures milk safety  
and quality and makes it available for infants in need. It exists to  
provide premature and critically-ill babies with the best possible  
nutrition for survival and healthy development by conveniently and  
confidentially collecting milk from qualified donors throughout the  
United States."
