Abstract:

This publication marks the first time that a significant number of corporations have agreed to the publication of specific details about their individual arts giving programs and policies.

Through their participation, the 359 companies represented in this book have helped engineer an important communications breakthrough in a relationship long hampered by the constraints of anonymity and confidentiality; in so doing, they have demonstrated a sincerity of commitment which far outweighs, in many cases, the contributions they have outlined.

The total dollar amounts documented in this study and their breakdowns by industry category and size of company are more clearly detailed in the charts contained in Appendix A, but a summary of the results looks like this:

• 359 companies participated in the study representing a total figure for outright arts giving of $40,189,266 (based on responses from 332 companies).
  
  
• The total figure for indirect arts giving is $16,318,519 (based on responses from 128 companies).
  
  
• The grand total for corporate arts giving documented in this study is $56,507,785.
