How does the Metropolitan Opera qualify as a charity? Isn’t it a business?

“How does the Metropolitan Opera qualify as a charity? Isn’t it a business?”

I guess it depends on who is giving the MET the money.

I thought I had included the two paragraphs below in my excerpt, but apparently not:

“What Ginsburg failed to mention was that she also directed the Berggruen Institute to conceal the full list of her designated charities from the public, a spokeswoman for the institute told the Washington Free Beacon. The Berggruen Institute even engaged in some creative accounting in its Form 990 tax return to ensure the recipients remain shrouded in secrecy.

“That list, per her wishes, is not for publication,” Berggruen Institute spokeswoman Rachel Bauch told the Free Beacon.”

Nope, it is owned by a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

The Met is a 501(c)(3).
