This viral tweet starts out with correct information about the Kennedy Center, but ends with a false claim about it donating $5M to the DNC. There is no evidence of this claim, nor any examples of the Kennedy Center making political donations in their past tax statements. 
The Kennedy Center is a 501 (c)(3) organization, they are prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in politics. It would be a big scandal if they donated $5M to a political party, but alas only this tweet makes the accusation, there are no corroborating news stories.
The right sometimes makes the same mistake with Planned Parenthood (as the following tweet shows). When you hear of PP donating millions to political causes, it’s from Super PACs affiliated with them, like Planned Parenthood Votes.
These are separate financial and operating entities, they do get the same money as PP, nor does PP funnel it do them. They are funded by outside private donations. The website Open Secrets chronicles all this activity for every lobbying group.
However, unlike PP I could find no such super PACs affiliated with the Kennedy Center there. This is in no way defending the recent bailouts to the Kennedy Center (which Trump defended btw). While the Center will clearly be brutally affected by the shutdowns, so will every other
concert hall, not to mention almost every business. To carve out a specific exemption for them reeks of cronyism in DC, but the DNC contribution claim is still false.
