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
