Unless you run an organization (i do) you really have no clue what costs are. Even if the building is donated, every so often you need to redo the tiles you need to replace the boiler you need to fix benches this so much upkeep there’s no way that daily charges could really cover these things.
That’s before you get to things like liability insurance, workers comp, which I’m sure are very expensive.
I believe that the mikvahs in Israel are subsidized by the government. So I’m not sure that that analogy works.
Case in point: we just repainted our first floor and outside windows, it cost $5000, just like that!
