I don't think NY ever passed the law, but it would not have application to what is being discussed here in any event. There is no such thing as investing in a NFP production. One can, as you say, donate and one can "enhance" which is a contribution in connection with a right of first refusal for the rights to (commercially) produce a show that starts in a non-profit. A non-profit can invest (subject to caveats) in a commercial production, and can also obtain points in consideration of its undertaking. I fully agree that the OP should get counsel on everything, and most of the remaining questions of the OP really require interacting with someone offering a deal. Depending on the property, what is offered for what can vary greatly although what you've said sounds generally right, with the caution that (as I am fond of saying) there are no rules on these matters.
