nearly all of the start-ups in Y Contaminator aren't profitable (yet).

....yes this is a joke

Why not use the usual job searching sites with the keyword of "non-profit" - most job descriptions include at least a blurb of the company and non-profits will likely mention their status.
Mozilla is a great option.
Networking with whatever non-profit you are interested in, they would know others in their field looking for people.

http://techsoup.org in the forums there’s a career opportunities section. Pay is no where near the rate of private sector, but there is a better chance for longevity and doing something you like.

idealist.org
In addition to these sites, start volunteering for local/nearby charities. You'll find that it's a good way to build up your network (why do you think so many execs are on nonprofit boards?) and your credibility within the nonprofit space.
