PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE 5 Board of Directors

As San Diego’s largest not-for-profit performing arts organization, The Old Globe’s operating budget of $20 million sustains year-round productions on three stages, an audience of more than 250,000, education and community programs serving nearly 50,000 and artistic development programs designed to advance the future of American theatre.

As you know, charitable support through grants and contributions is vital to sustaining these activities, and one of the most vital funding sources for The Old Globe is the City of San Diego’s Commission for Arts and Culture, which, through an arduous vetting process, allocates contracts for services provided. Funding comes through the transient occupancy tax (TOT), which is paid by tourists who stay at hotels and not by local citizens. The goal of the Commission is to fund organizations that stimulate the economy, attract tourism, reflect the diversity of our region and improve the quality of life for San Diegans.

With each annual budget cycle, funding for the Commission is at risk. We encourage you, as Globe supporters, to tell City Councilmembers and the Mayor that you value programs supported by the Commission and that you advocate for keeping Commission funding as a high priority.

If you are interested in learning more about public funding and how it impacts Globe programs, please contact the Development Department. Thank you for all you do as advocates and friends. We greatly appreciate it.

Enjoy the performance.
