Individual Giving in 2009 remained steady from 2008. Remember, individual giving represents "88%" (See above) of all contributed revenue for non-profits.

Why are so many arts organizations reporting that they are having financial difficulties???

Are we, arts managers, ignoring where our real contributed revenue comes from?

Have we met the enemy, and it is us??
