Corporations and institutions/foundations make up more than half of NPR's funding. And that exceeds the pledge drive funding, which collectively vastly exceeds the government funds they receive.

Any entity created by an Act of Congress is by definition affiliated with the federal government.


Hudson's bay company is incorporated by English Royal charter in 1670. By definition it is a department store affiliated with the English king :)
