Overview
Mission
Broadening the human experience through dance and to become an epicenter for the arts.
What it reported doing in 2024
The sacramento ballet preformed a range of classical and contemporary works choreographed by masters and emerging artists during its 70th season in 2023/2024. The sacramento ballet presents a minimum of four productions, with a minimum of 30 performances, and reaches an audience of approximately 60,000. The sacramento ballet is widely lauded in the greater sacramento region for the scope and impact of its various outreach and education programs. The sacramento ballet gives special priority to children-at-risk, the under-served and those who might never have the opportunity to experience the beauty and magic of dance. In addition, various programs are provided at school sites, free of charge. The combination of outreach programs serves over 20,000 participants annually. The sacramento ballet's outreach programs have served school children in sacrametno, placer, yolo, sutter, el dorado, colusa, calaveras and contra costa counties.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 72% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
