Ask how much is budgeted for the job. And then sell yourself hard.
This is the right way!

The exact same way you do at a for profit company. All a non profit means is their net profit = 0. That can either be yo donating, free service/services at cost, or expending all their profits out in the form of payroll. There's plenty of non profits out there with bloated payrolls.
They may be a nonprofit, but you are not. You have a budget and needs - just let them know you love the role and the organization and would really like to be a part of the mission, but for it to feasible, you need x per hour. And then shut up. Don’t talk until they reply. Yes. It might be an uncomfortable silence, but you got this!!! Just smile. Good luck!
You negotiate the same way you would any other job, but with non-profits, negotiations are really hard because their budgets are tight. It doesn't hurt to ask though and I would just ask for what you need and then see what they say.
