For every dollar the organization received, 65% were spent on artistic initiatives, 32% to administrative costs, and 3% supported fundraising. Cincinnati Ballet strives to present the highest level of artistic excellence whiled maintaining world class administrative teams. Cincinnati Ballet continues to grow an endowment to provide organizational stability. As of July 31, 2021, the endowment market value was $14.9M, an increase of $2.6M from the prior year. As Cincinnati Ballet looks toward the future, we embrace a strategic perspective that includes artistically vibrant productions and continued sustainable growth of the endowment.
