Culture Works closes 10 percent short
DAYTON — Despite a several-week extension, Culture Works has closed its 2009 campaign more than 10 percent short of the $1.7 million goal.
The Dayton area’s united arts fund reported Tuesday, Sept. 29, that it raised $1.52 million.
It will mark the end of its 34th annual drive Wednesday, Sept. 30, with a reception at The Loft Theatre, 126 N. Main St. Campaign chair Jon M. Sebaly will speak. The Dayton Opera and Human Race Theatre Company are scheduled to perform.
Proportionate reductions in allocations to the area’s major arts organizations and smaller groups are anticipated as a result. Largest recipients of Culture Works contributions include the Dayton Philharmonic, Dayton Opera, Dayton Ballet, Dayton Contemporary Dance Company, Human Race Theatre Company, Muse Machine and Cityfolk.
Sebaly said the drive, which opened Feb. 1, came closer to its target than the majority of other united arts fundraising campaigns year.
Positive outcomes included more than 1,500 first-time individual donors, 35 new corporate donors and 10 new workplace-giving sites.
