The NMSS funds a lot of Research, not sure they provide anything to Drug Companies. Once a drug is shown to be effective it is likely that it will be bought by an established Drug Company though. Even though the NMSS doesn't profit from the Drugs, the MS Population as a whole does benefit from better treatments. So, in a way they do get a 'profit' since their purpose is to make life with MS not as bad and to end MS.
