[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder what would happen if say, President Trump or Senator Warren wanted to hold a fundraiser in the Cathedral Nave?  They would need to allow that right?

Nope.  Here is the reservation policy:

[quote]Each year Washington National Cathedral approves a limited number of proposals from outside organizations to hold special events at the Cathedral. Events rentals are scheduled by the Office of Event Management (OEM) which can be reached at (202) 537-5757 eventrentals@cathedral.org.

Proposals are accepted from corporations and non-profit organizations (as described under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code)

Cathedral Spaces are not available for:

Events of a primarily personal, political, or fund-raising nature.
Events where the Sponsor is planning to charge admission fees, make collections, seek contributions, give door prizes, have auctions, or raffles.
Events where the Sponsor intends to use the Cathedral space for advertising or promoting any product or service for profit.
Events where the Sponsor intends to display or promote commercial products or sell items.
Events where the Sponsor intends to conduct lobbying activities, hearings, press conferences, or recurring meetings.
Events scheduled in public spaces between the hours of 8:30 am and 5:30 pm, Monday through Saturday, or for events scheduled on Sunday or holidays.
Exceptions may be made by OEM. Please submit your request for a variance in your event proposal.

The Cathedral reserves the right to review all use applications to determine if the event is appropriate to be held in the Cathedral or its related facilities. In cases where there is doubt or uncertainty about the nature of the event, as it relates to the guidelines or customary practices not specifically mentioned here, the Dean or his delegated representative shall decide the matter and all individuals and groups shall abide by the final decision.[/quote]

Presumably, the Cathedral itself may host its own events and charge admission or have an auction, which would explain the Second-Chance Prom and the NCS auction, but they don't rent it out for those purposes.  [/quote]

What about the Butterfly Bash?[/quote]
