This is the museum's mission statement posted on Guidestar.org:

THE WINGS OVER THE ROCKIES AIR & SPACE MUSEUM, INC.'S PRIMARY EXEMPT PURPOSE
IS TO ENHANCE, PRESERVE AND EXHIBIT THE HERITAGE OF MILITARY, CIVIL AND
COMMERCIAL AVIATION AND SPACE-AGE INVOLVEMENT IN THE STATE OF COLORADO AND
THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGION.


This is from the legal website Nolo.com in its section about
not-for-profits:

Limits on Nonprofit Activities

Nonprofit corporations cannot contribute money to political campaigns.
Nonprofit corporations with a 501(c)(3) tax exemption (the most common) are
not allowed to participate in political campaigns or contribute money to
them. If they do, the IRS can revoke their nonprofit status, and can assess
a special excise tax against the organization and its managers.

Nonprofit corporations can engage in only limited lobbying activities.
Tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofits that influence legislation to any
"substantial degree" face the loss of their nonprofit status. However, for
tax-exempt nonprofits that want to participate in lobbying, the IRS simply
sets a limit on the money they can spend on political activities.
