Abstract:

This book covers all types of giving to all sectors. The following information is from the chapter on giving to arts, culture and humanities. The year 1973 saw a continued expansion in the demand for cultural activities, including museums, symphony and chamber orchestras, jazz and other music entities, opera, theatre, film and the dance. Support from private sources continued its upward trend, and for 1973 is estimated at $1.20 billion. Established institutions are financially pressed, as new cultural organizations and performance groups appear on the scene and add their demand for the limited funds available. (p. 45)
