"What was important was that the panelists were all playwrights, and, as playwrights, their considerations, fears, and hopes were essentially the same as playwrights working in any genre – e.g., how do we get our plays performed, and how do we grow great theater?” --BY PAUL BIRCHALL
"Here are the stats: In 2015 charitable giving the in U.S. totaled $373 billion. Individuals made the majority of charitable gifts totaling $299 billion (80%). Foundations gave only a total of $59 billion in grants or 15% of all charitable giving. (Corporations gave the remaining 5 %.) Given these shocking statistics, I would encourage everyone to re-focus fundraising efforts on the individual donor – more on that in another post – and move away from the idea that you will be able to totally support your organization - or project - through grants." -- BY CORBETT BARKLIE
