An Interview With Tim Whalen, Director of External Affairs, American Conservatory Theater

FS: How do you fund your mission?
TW: ACT is funded through earned income; including subscriptions and ticket sales; tuition (in our actor training conservatory); and concessions; and through contributions from individuals, foundations, corporations and government grantmakers. Our earned-to-contributed-income ratio in the most recently completed fiscal year was 65 percent earned, 35 percent contributed.
