Nearly 99% of our $2.6 million annual budget comes from the private sector. What we don’t earn, we raise from individuals, companies, and foundations through the Annual Arts Campaign. We are one of 80 communities in America that raise money for the arts like the United Way raises money for social services in 1,500 places. This means that for 11 weeks every March, April and May, we run the Annual Arts Campaign. We have a volunteer chair and at least 100 volunteer workers. The chairs for the Annual Arts Campaign for the next three years are Linda DeHoff in 2010 (completed), Karen Belden in 2011, and Joy Timken in 2012.
