Article suggests the Chan Zuckerberg initiative is non-profit, but I'm reading from multiple other sources that is definitely not the case.

Not sure who's right, but if it's not WaPo, then that's some terrible fact checking and kinda invalidates the whole article.

Edit - Chan Zuckerberg is a for profit, that will fund non profits, so WaPo is actually incorrect.

I don't think that level of detail is publicly available yet. And even non-profits start out as an LLC, and then gain that designation, so that _could_ be what's happening here.
