which probably caused some of the musicians' confusion.

America250, the nonpartisan entity created by Congress to administer the country’s semiquincentennial celebrations/events, has nothing whatsoever to do with it.

Freedom 250 is a tax exempt organization, soliciting donations. Donors who contribute at least $1 million - a tax deductible $1 million - to the 'cause' are invited to a reception hosted by Trump himself. While it's not at all uncommon for a non-profit organization to offer additional benefits to donors who give more to a major fundraising event, this being Trump, the chance that some portion of the money will find its way to his or his family coffers ain't exactly zero.
