Los Angeles Master Chorale, for example, received its full $50,000 grant for its “Lift Every Voice” program and got no letter, said President and Chief Executive Scott Altman.

“As I’m connecting with sister organizations and hearing from colleagues across the country, we seem to be a bit of an anomaly,” Altman said.

“We made the decision for the nonprofit to stay in control after hearing from civic leaders and having discussions with the offices of the Attorneys General of California and Delaware,” Chief Executive Sam Altman wrote in a letter to OpenAI employees.

On Monday, Altman said that the nonprofit board will become a “big shareholder” in the public benefit corporation “in an amount supported by independent financial advisors, giving the nonprofit resources to support programs so AI can benefit many different communities, consistent with the mission.”

Altman expressed commitment to OpenAI’s nonprofit continuing to control the for-profit business as it does today.
