How do we pay for a show?

 

 Durham Ballet Theatre receives grants from Durham Arts Council with support from the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural & Cultural Resources and the City of Durham.

These grants comprise only 17% of our yearly budget.

32% of our funding is from ticket sales, 22% comes from performance/costume fees…

and the remaining 29% is through direct donations from supporters like you.

 
 

82%

of our annual budget goes directly into our productions.

What do we do with our funding?

Scholarships enable us to include more cast members from all socio-economic strata.
