The source confirms the entity name change to OpenAI Foundation on October 28, 2025, and confirms it is a nonprofit. However, the source text does not explicitly mention '501(c)(3)' status or Delaware incorporation.

The 501(c)(3) status is a standard assumption for nonprofits but is not stated in the provided excerpt.
