But the NT, as far as I know, do not have regular public fundraisers like WM
does (meaning a large part of their income is from memberships), and since
NT membership waives the entrance fee for NT properties (which is often
quite high), it's not impossible for them to *lose* money on memberships.
NT also has much higher unavoidable overhead; WM-UK could operate on almost
nothing without going bankrupt.
