ubiq: My sense is that a Makom Kodesh needs funds to operate. Whether the Mikva, the electricity, gas, or even general shul non-mikva expenses. I don’t think many shuls with mikvas are operating on a profit-level where they’re bringing in much more income than they need to continue serving Klal Yisroel. If they need to raise funds from a certain aspect (i.e. Mikva) than their actual cost for that service so that they can pay other general kodesh expenses, that’s entirely legitimate.
