Influence Tactics 16 References 18 Introduction Art organizations across the United States rely heavily on ticket sales and individual contributions, along with business and foundation giving to continue operations and explore opportunities for growth. These revenue streams make up approximately 82% of the total income for art organizations, with ticket sales and individual contributions being around 46% of earned income and the business and foundation giving being 36% of private income received (DeLong & Ager, 2005).
