Nina, Organizations that are treated under section 501 (c) of the Internal
Revenue Code are viewed by the *federal*  gov't as "non-profit." Many
states have their own statutes (usually broader) in defining
"non-profit." For starters you may wish to request a copy of their IRS
"determination letter"--most cultural non-profits are used to supplying
this when they apply for grants, etc.  Best,  Jim
