They make money from sponsors, tournaments, games, TV rights, and the World Cup. They made 46 million on the Copa America Centenario alone and had a surplus of 100 million in May. The men's teams got 9 Million just by getting to the round of 16 in 2014 and the teams that didn't get out of the group stage got 8 million. So they lost at least 8 million by not qualifying on Tuesday.
As for what to do with all that money I don't want to take this thread even more off topic so I will just leave a link below, but if you just search you can find a lot more ideas than this article.
