| I've worked at enough NFPs to know that if that were the mission of a NFP, it would not be a tax-exempt organization in the view of the IRS. | |

| Again, not the stated mission, but having a “hit” - and as I’ve written on this site in the past, that idea can be measured in many ways, and sometimes the windfall is more about how the institution can then raise more money through contributed income rather than earned income - is what keeps most of these theaters functioning, and it’s why so many of them produce the work they do. Even Joe Papp readily acknowledged that after he produced “A Chorus Line”, he had to keep producing shows that could transfer and bring in continued revenue to support all of the other work at the theater; he somewhat shadily implied that this was why he was doing “Drood” in the Park, rather than Shakespeare. I always chuckled when Riedel went after Oskar for doing the same thing, implying that he was somehow betraying Papp, when if Riedel had simply read “Free for All”, he would know that the accusation was bogus. Were your NFPs theater companies? Things might work very differently in other fields. |

| Joe Papp also famously didn't take a very high salary on principle. He'd be shocked and distressed by Oskar's salary. | |

| than earning money from hit. Shubert organization is a non-profit and they certainty aren't giving away free leases to commercial productions in their theaters. It's how they spend the money--and apparently buying strip malls in the mid-west is a legitimate use. | |

| Yes it is, as long as it is consistent with an eleemosynary purpose. The Shuberts are a difficult example, however, because they are a unique structure: a for profit enterprise owned by a non-profit foundation. So what they do in business has no connection to a charitable purpose. The foundation, on the other hand, is the largest performing arts donor in the United States and just announced its current year boasts its largest ever grant total. | |

| Some people might, therefore, consider the Shubert structure to be Agathokakological? | |

| I can now join billhaven in saying my week is complete. This is a word I never knew, but I did almost figure it out thanks to my one semester of Greek many years ago. (I did not do well, Greek fared no better.) But the great achievement is that in the process I discovered "floccinaucinihilipilification" which means "the estimation of something as worthless." Now if anyone can figure out its formulation (without cheating), I will buy them an ice cream cone. |
