I thought the owner was Anas “Andy” Shallal, an Iraqi-American.

I stand corrected - they are "retail partners" with Teaching for Change:

Busboys and Poets is proud to offer our retail partners Teaching for Change, Global Exchange, and Art Under Pressure space at absolutely no cost. Teaching for Change owns and operates the Busboys and Poets bookstore at our 14th & V (DC) location. All proceeds from the sale of books go directly to Teaching for Change, a non-profit whose mission is to nurture and build social justice curriculum in schools—from kindergarten to college.
