I do not know if S/E had no intention of providing space they promised to the Shakespeare group and to the Tiger Woods foundation. Actually I doubt it.

Do you have any actual evidence?

“Shakespeare Theater has decided to retrench,” said Ken Golding of Stanton-EastBanc, LLC, who won the rights to develop the site in September 2009. “The theater has decided, given the economy and the difficulty of raising money for nonprofits, that they are not going to move their rehearsal studio and costume shop.”

That means working around a parade of maybe-maybe not tenants. The Tiger Woods Foundation has decided not to build a learning center for D.C. youth there, Sternlieb said, while the Shakespeare Theatre Co. has opted not to consolidate its offices there — though it is expected to lease a number of residential units for its actors. And International Relief and Development will not to move its headquarters there.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. You can offer the space to various non-profits, but if they back out, that's their decision.
