Churches pay no tax because their profits are supposed to be not for any one’s gain. They give 100% of it away to charity, so they say.
Same goes with non-profits, however, if you want, you could apply for a tax number and you could advertise your non-profit, say for saving lizards or something, and collect all the money people want to give you. There is somewhere it’s posted on how much a particular charity gives away versus how much they keep, but I don’t where it is. Welcome to America!
