Our group needs information on the percentage of fund-raising income sources for non-profit theatres - what % typically comes from individual donors, from grants, etc. Any ideas?

In our small, very young group, about 3/5ths of our gross income was from ticket sales, 1/5 of it was from advertising sold to be placed in our programs and sponsorships for the shows, and another 1/5 was from memberships, individual donations and grants. This is from the past year. I don't know if this is what you were looking for or if it helps at all....

It varies a lot by year.

We are not a membership organization so we do not have any membership income. We are also a very small organization with a small budget. This year (2003) we will go over $10,000 for the first time. We usually do two or three full productions, four or five readers theaters and two or three acting classes. 2002 was slow because we were fixing up our new home. The donations are way up in 2003 because we needed a lot of technical equipment for our new home. We also reached institutional credibility this year and more large donors were willing to step up to help us.

Here are our last three years:

2001:
Full Productions $2,400
Readers Theater $1,900
Training $3,200
Donations $ 400
Other $ 600
Total $8,500

2002:
Full Productions $1,100
Readers Theater $ 900
Training $1,900
Donations $ 350
Other $ 400
Total $4,600

2003: (so far)
Full Productions $3,700
Readers Theater $1,400
Training $2,500
Donations $3,500
Grants $1,000
Other $ 900
Total $13,000

Hope this helps.
