Background

Introduction
The Australia Council for the Arts has been monitoring the performance of the arts sector in attracting private sector support in different ways for some time. The purpose of this report is to track and analyse levels of private sector income of Australia Council funded key organisations1 for the years 2008 to 2010. It adapts the survey of major performing arts companies conducted by AMPAG2, hence complementing that surveys findings as well as the private sector support survey conducted by AbaF3. 132 key organisations that received triennial funding in 2010 have been included in this years report. A list of the participating organisations can be found at Appendix 1. Specific areas of research include: How much private sector income has been received by key organisations since 2008? What is the proportion of corporate sponsorship compared to other sources of private sector income? Has the amount of corporate sponsorship received by key organisations changed in comparison to private giving? What proportion of total turnover is made up of private sector support? How much corporate sponsorship has been received by key organisations since 2008? How much corporate sponsorship is received in the form of in-kind support? How much private giving has been received by key organisations since 2008? How much private giving is received from foundations and trusts? Has the number of sponsorships and donations increased or decreased since 2008? How much is generated from fundraising events? For each of the above focus questions, findings are presented initially by total sector, followed by state and territories, artform and by company size. Details of which data group each company belongs to can be found at Appendix 2.

A key organisation is an organisation that receives multi-year funding from an artform board. Key organisations exclude companies designated as Major Performing Arts companies. 2 The survey was conducted by Sue Procter for the Australia Council. She has adapted the survey that she conducts on behalf of AMPAG (Australian Major Performing Arts Group www.ampag.com.au) with their support and co-operation. 3 Australia Business Arts Foundation www.abaf.org.au

Methodology
The report will be updated annually, applying a consistent approach to data collection and analysis. Over time this will build a picture of the trends in private sector support to these key organisations that can be used by the organisations and the Council for strategic planning and evaluation. A three-phased approach has been developed to meet the requirements of this study: 1. Annual report analysis: The 20082010 audited accounts of the 132 reviewed organisations were used to capture key financial information relating to private sector income. The audited accounts were also used to establish each companys turnover4 and net assets. 2. Company feedback: The financial information from phase one was entered into a template and forwarded to all participating companies with a request to review and confirm. In addition, participating companies were requested to provide information on the costs of raising corporate sponsorship and private giving as well as provide indication of the number of sponsorships and donations they had received since 2008. 3. Data analysis and report preparation: Sixty eight companies (52 percent) provided phase two feedback. This information, along with the information compiled in phase one has been used as the basis for the following report.

Financial information
Each company has provided an explanation for any financial information contained in this report that deviates materially5 from results presented in their annual reports. Three main types of derivation have been noted: 1. The Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) has run a very successful and highly publicised capital works campaign, raising funds for the construction of a new wing to its gallery. The level of success of this campaign is of such magnitude that it has materially affected all results. Consequently, the capital works campaign of the MCA have been excluded from the figures presented in the report. Total sector results including the capital works campaign of the MCA has been presented at Appendix 1. 2. Fourteen companies reported that they do not include in-kind income in their annual report results but have included in-kind data in this report. 3. Ten companies apply different classification criterion in their annual report. For example, fundraising events are reported in gross rather than net terms and donation income is not separately disclosed, but included as part of other revenue.

Key terminology
Private sector income means total corporate sponsorship, private giving and net fundraising income. It does not include income received from ticket/box office sales. Private giving means revenue from a private source and includes donation income as well as donations or grants received from foundations and trusts.

4 5

Total income Materiality has been set at 10 percent

Corporate sponsorship relates to both cash and in-kind support paid to an organisation in return for advertising/naming rights. Fundraising events includes fundraising dinners, raffles, auctions etc. Large companies are those with a turnover greater than $2m in 2010. Medium companies reported turnover between $800k and $2m in 2010. Small companies generated less than $800k in turnover in 2010. Literature companies include those funded by the Literature Board and those companies that have a primary publishing function for example Artlink and Eyeline Publishing Ltd. Cross-artform companies are those who incorporate multiple artforms as part of their primary function. For example, The Performance Space delivers an artistic program that incorporates visual arts, dance and theatre.

Key findings

The key findings of this report are as follows: The audited financial statements of the 132 key organisations were used as the basis for the financial information. Of these 132 companies, 68 provided additional information relating to the number of sponsorships and donations received. The 132 key organisations received $60.7m in private sector income in 2010 of which $35.8m related to a one-off capital works fundraising campaign of the Museum of Contemporary Art. Total private sector income in 2010 (excluding the MCA capital works campaign) was $24.9m. There has been a modest increase in private sector income as a percentage of turnover. In 2010, private sector income made up 15 percent of total turnover6 of key organisations. In 2009, private sector made up 12 percent of total turnover. The distribution of private sector income was not even across key organisations. The top 10 private sector income generators make up 67 per cent of total revenue earned. Eighteen companies (14 percent) of 132 companies examined reported receiving no private sector at all in 2010. The $13.6m received as corporate sponsorship in 2010 made up 55 percent of total private sector income almost double 2009 levels. Much of the reported increase in corporate sponsorship was due to a $4.2m increase in in-kind support. In 2010, cash sponsorship increased $2.4m on 2009 levels. Private giving has remained steady, while corporate sponsorship has increased. In 2010, $10.7m was received as donations and/or foundation and trust support up 2.3 percent on 2009. Only three years of data have been examined in this inaugural report, making long-term trends difficult to accurately determine. Many of the reported fluctuations are due to a spike in earnings of single companies. Whether these spikes are part of the normal cycle of private sector giving/sponsorship for the sector or aberrant cannot be determined at this point. Some of the data spikes include:

Total income

$1.6m increase in private sector support for South Australian companies is due to the inclusion of substantial in-kind support of a single company. The reported $1.7m drop in private sector support for Victorian companies is due to one Victorian company running a substantial fundraising campaign in 2008 to purchase a building. The recent surge in West Australian corporate sponsorship earnings is due to one company gaining very substantial corporate sponsorship support from a major mining company.

Noting that the underlying data may be affected by aberrant results of single companies, some possible trends that are emerging from the data include: WA companies are reporting the strongest growth in corporate sponsorship. They are however less successful in securing private giving. NSW companies receive the highest level of private giving at an average of $183k per company however have not been able to substantially lift earnings from this source since 2008. Private giving has declined for Victorian companies. Corporate sponsorship has remained at a low and static level. Companies from the Northern Territory receive the highest proportion of private giving from foundation and trusts (as opposed to individual donations). Visual arts companies dominate the results with the 40 participating companies making up $14.9m or 60 percent of the sector earnings. Dance, theatre and literature companies report significantly lower levels of private sector income compared to music, visual arts and, to a lesser extent, cross-artform companies. Music companies reported the lowest proportion of private giving from foundations and trusts. Seventy nine percent of private giving is received from individual donations for this artform.

Sixty eight companies provided data on the number of sponsorships/private givings secured: The number of sponsorship secured by the 68 key organisations has steadily increased since 2008. In 2010, these 68 companies reported securing 524 sponsorships. Despite the low level of corporate sponsorship income ($0.8m), Victorian companies reported the highest number of corporate sponsorships (150). Queensland also reported a relatively high number of sponsorships (127) to a low level of income ($0.5m). Their results contrast with NSW companies who reported raising $4.9m with 145 sponsorships. The number of donations/private givings reported by the 68 companies increased by 515 on 2009 level. In 2010, these 68 companies reported securing 2,677 donations/private givings. 8

Music and theatre companies both reported relatively high numbers of donations/private givings (967 and 703 respectively) and relatively low income levels ($1.2m and $1.1m). These results contrast with the visual arts companies who reported raising $4.2m with 658 private givings.

Research findings

Key organisations received $60.7m in private sector income in 2010 an increase of $42.2m or 228.1 percent on 2009 levels and $41.3m or 212.8 percent on 2008 levels. The very substantial increase in 2010 is due to the capital works fundraising campaign of the Museum of Contemporary Art. As the intention of this survey is to track long-term trends in private sector earnings, the MCAs substantial one-off capital works fundraising campaign has been excluded from the research findings presented below. Excluding the capital works fundraising campaign of the MCA, key organisations received $24.9m in private sector income in 2010 an increase of $6.9m or 38.1 percent on 2009 levels and $5.9m or 31.4 percent on 2008 levels.

Sponsorship

Key organisations reported an increase of $6.6m or 94.1 percent in corporate sponsorship earnings in 2010. This increase was not universal across all companies. Forty nine of the 132 examined organisations reported a $7.3m increase in earnings in 2010, 48 reported no change and 35 companies (26.5 percent) collectively reported earning $0.7m less in 2010 compared to 2009.

Turnover is total income. An increase in the proportion of private sector income to turnover implies two things: (1) an increased success rate in securing private sector income (2) an increased reliance on private sector income to meet operational needs.

Private giving has remained steady, while corporate sponsorship has increased. In 2010, key organisations received $10.7m an increase of $0.2m or 2.3 percent on 2009 levels and a fall of $0.4m or 3.2 percent on 2008 levels. Fifty one of the 132 examined organisations collectively reported a $2.9m increase. Twenty three companies reported no change and 58 companies (43.9 percent) reported a $2.7m decrease in private income in 2010 compared to 2009. Exhibit E: Private giving key organisations: 20082010

The following table provides a summary of total private sector income in 2010 by states and territories:

Australian Capital Territory Total private sector income in 2010 for the six companies from the Australian Capital Territory was $0.5m an increase of $76k compared to 2009 results and $481k on 2008 results. The reported jump in earnings in 2009 was due to the results of one company. As this company dominates the results of both 2009 and 2010, no additional analysis is provided. New South Wales Total private sector income in 2010 for the 34 New South Wales companies was $11.5m an increase of $2.7m compared to 2009 results and $1.8m on 2008 results. This reported increase was not universal across all NSW companies. Fifteen companies or 44 percent reported receiving $4.6m more from private sector income in 2010 compared to 2009. Of these 15 companies, two companies made up more than 80 percent of the result. Similarly, of the 17 companies who received less from private sector income in 2010, one company made up more than 65 percent of the decrease. NSW companies received $5m in corporate sponsorship income in 2010 more than double the 2009 result and up 28.4 percent on 2008 levels. This increase was dominated by the results of three companies. These companies reported a combined increase in corporate sponsorship of $2.7m with $2.3m relating to an increase in in-kind support. The remaining 31 companies reported a collective decrease of just $8k in 2010 compared to 2009. NSW companies reported the highest level of private giving of the sector at $6.2m or an average of $183k per company. The distribution of earnings however was not even across these companies. Only five of the 34 companies examined reported 13

earning more than the $183k average. While NSW companies reported only a modest $51k increase on 2009 results, the 2010 result may have been partially affected by regular donors of the MCA diverting support to the capital works fundraising campaign. It is important to note that the result is also partially affected by the two-year cyclical operations of another company that resides in NSW. Northern Territory Total private sector income in 2010 for the nine Northern Territory companies was $1m an increase of $204k compared to 2009 and $742k on 2008 results. While this result is partially affected by two companies providing no 2008 data (driving the jump in earnings in 2009), five other companies have reported increases in private sector support in 2010 compared to 2008. Five companies reported receiving $362k in corporate sponsorship income in 2010, an increase of $121k on 2009 levels. NT companies reported $673k in private giving in 2010 or an average of $74.8k per company. This was the second highest reported average for the sector8 (ref exhibit G). NT companies additionally reported that 94.1 percent of private giving was received from foundations and trusts more than any other group of the sector. Queensland Total private sector income in 2010 for the 18 Queensland companies was $1.4m an increase of $250k compared to 2009 and $264k on 2008 results. Queensland companies have reported receiving an average of just $77k per company in private sector income the second lowest result (behind Tasmania) of the other states and territories. Queensland companies have reported securing $641k in corporate sponsorship income in 2010, up $130k on 2009 and $49k on 2008 results. The 2009 result is primarily due to the result of a single organisation attracting significant sponsorship income for the first time. The underlying data shows considerable movement between the other 17 companies, suggesting that a set number of sponsors may migrate from one company to another. More investigation into which corporate sponsors provide support to each of the Queensland companies is required to properly interpret this possible trend.

In addition to the amount of total corporate sponsorship income received, the nine Queensland companies that provided data relating to the number of corporate sponsorships also revealed interesting results. These companies reported that 127 corporate sponsorships were secured to raise just $0.5m in income. In contrast, the NSW companies9 reported securing 145 corporate sponsorships to raise $4.9m. The data therefore indicates that Queensland key organisations have to work extremely hard to attract relatively small amounts of corporate sponsorship income. Queensland companies reported receiving $677k in private giving in 2010 up $57k on 2009 results and $152k on 2008. This reported increase was relatively widespread with only four of the 18 companies reporting receiving less from private giving in 2010 compared to 2008. South Australia Total private sector income in 2010 for the 19 South Australian companies was $3.2m up a substantial $1.6m on both 2008 and 2009 results. This result was due to an increase in in-kind sponsorship of a single company10. SA companies have reported receiving $825k in private giving in 2010 up $146k on 2009 and $223k on 2008 results. This increase was not widespread and was driven primarily by the results of a single organisation. Of the remaining 18 companies, nine companies reported a $17k decrease in earnings, seven companies reported a collective $46k increase and two companies reported no change. Tasmania The five Tasmanian companies generated $182k in private sector income in 2010 the lowest of the sector. This result was $69k up on 2009 results, but $21k less than amounts received in 2008.

20 NSW companies provided data on the number of corporate sponsorships secured. The magnitude of this in-kind sponsorship is of such scale that it has impacted on the overall corporate sponsorship amount results of SA. No separate analysis is therefore provided.

Corporate sponsorship income in 2010 for Tasmanian companies was $102k up just $8k from 2008. This increase was due to a single company reporting earnings from this source for the first time. Three of the five companies reported earning less from corporate sponsorship in 2010 compared to 2008. Private giving appears to have stagnated in Tasmania. In 2008 three companies reported receiving $109k. In 2010, only two companies received a collective $62k a fall of 43.1 percent. Victoria Total private sector income in 2010 for the 29 Victorian companies was $2.7m a decrease of $26k compared to 2009 results and a substantial decline of $1.7m on 2008 results. The reported decrease from 2008 was primarily due to private giving results of a single organisation11. However it is important to note that the relatively modest decrease ($26k) in 2009 masks a more turbulent outcome present in the underlying data. Of the 29 companies, 16 companies collectively reported a decrease of $679k in private sector support in 2010 compared to 2009. Only 11 companies secured more private sector support over the same period. Victorian companies are, in general, struggling to generate significant corporate sponsorship income. Only 17 of the 29 companies received corporate sponsorship income in 2010. Of these 17 companies, 10 reported earning less than $25k. Despite these relatively low numbers, Victorian companies12 reported securing the most number of corporate sponsorships of the sector at 150. While the number of sponsorships secured was relatively high, this did not translate to high levels of income. These companies reported generating just $821k in 2010 contrasting sharply with the NSW result13.

This company ran a substantial one-off fundraising campaign to purchase a building in 2008. 15 of the 17 companies receiving corporate sponsorship income provided information relating to the number of sponsorships. Total corporate sponsorship income for Victorian companies in 2010 was $979k. 13 The 20 NSW companies that provided data on the number of corporate sponsorships reported securing 145 sponsorships and generating $4.9m.

A similar, though less pronounced pattern is noted with private giving. In 2010, 19 of the 29 Victorian companies reported receiving $1.6m in private giving a fall of $241k from 2009. This fall was due to the results of 14 companies (who collectively reported a $541k decrease in income) partially offset by reported increases of $300k of nine companies. Western Australia West Australian companies have reported the highest increase of private sector income over the review period. This result was driven by a significant increase in the amount these 12 companies have secured in corporate sponsorship. It is important to note however that this reported increase in revenue was not universally enjoyed by all examined WA companies. Only eight of the 12 companies received corporate sponsorship in 2010 with four of these companies reporting a decrease in support compared to 2009. The substantial surge in income was due to the result of a single company receiving significant support from a major mining company.

It is interesting to note that WA companies have reported one of the lowest levels14 of in-kind support with 99.2 percent of total corporate sponsorship received as cash. Most other states and territories report about half of their total corporate sponsorship being received as in-kind support. More analysis is required to ascertain whether this low level of in-kind support has led to an understatement of corporate sponsorship for the state, or whether WA corporations support key organisations differently to other states. WA companies appear to be less successful in securing private giving compared to corporate sponsorship. In 2010, the 12 examined companies reported securing $520k. Six companies reported receiving less than $5k, with distribution across the remaining six companies relatively even. The reported increase of $205k on 2009 results was reasonably widespread with only two of the 12 companies receiving less from private giving in 2010 compared to 2009.

The lowest level was the ACT who reported 100 percent of corporate sponsorship received as cash.

Cross-artform Total private sector income in 2010 for the 25 cross-artform companies was $3.1m an increase of $444k compared to 2009 results and $1m on 2008 results. The reported increase in earnings in 2010 was essentially due to the private giving result of one company. Only 10 of the 25 cross-artform companies secured corporate sponsorship income in 2010 reporting only modest ($88k) increase in revenue from this source compared to 2009. Cross-artform companies received $2.6m in private giving in 2010 up $344k on 2009 results and $716k on 2008. Sixteen companies reported receiving private giving in 2010 however 11 reported earning $374k less in 2010 compared to 2009. Only two companies have reported consecutive increases in private giving in both 2008 and 2009. Dance Total private sector income for the 11 dance companies was $677k in 2010. While there was an increase of $159k on 2009 and $217k on 2008 levels, they delivered the lowest average earnings of all artform categories. Corporate sponsorship income in 2010 for dance companies was $381k up $67k from 2008. This increase was primarily due to one company securing a substantial corporate sponsorship in 2010 and it being partially offset by decreased earnings reported by another company. Dance companies reported securing 85 corporate sponsorships in 2010 indicating that these companies have had to work extremely hard to secure the very modest level of income. 18

While dance companies reported receiving less from private giving in 2010 compared to corporate sponsorship ($276k compared to $381k), reported gains are more evenly distributed. Only eight companies received corporate sponsorship income, with two companies making up over 60 percent of the total. In contrast, nine of the 11 companies reported receiving more from private giving in 2010 compared to 2008. Literature Total private sector income for the eight literature companies was $629k an increase of $157k on 2009 levels. The reported $364k increase on 2008 levels was the largest proportional increase across the sector at 137.3 percent, however this increase came off a low base. Literature companies along with dance and theatre companies report significantly lower levels of average earnings compared to other artforms. Literature companies received significantly more corporate sponsorship in the form of in-kind support compared to all other artforms. In 2010, literature companies reported receiving $116.8k in-kind support or 80.9 percent of their total corporate sponsorship income. Music Total private sector income for the 16 music companies was $3.3m an increase of just $39k on 2009 levels, but a $1.4m increase in 2008. In 2010, music companies reported that at 20.2 percent private sector income made up the highest proportion of total turnover of all artforms. Music companies have reported the lowest level of in-kind support with 83.6 percent of total corporate sponsorship received as cash. Most other artforms15 reported receiving a greater proportion of their total corporate sponsorship as inkind support. More analysis is required to ascertain whether this low level of in-kind support has led to an understatement of corporate sponsorship for this artform, or

Cross-artform companies also reported a high proportion of cash (73 percent).

whether corporations that support music companies do so differently to other artforms. Music companies have also reported the lowest proportion of private giving being received from foundations and trusts. In 2010, these companies reported that foundations and trusts made up 21.5 percent of total private giving contrasting from the results of dance (70.8 percent), literature (72.4 percent) and cross-artform (84.6 percent) companies. Fewer foundations and trusts supporting music companies may account for the relatively high number of donations/private givings reported by these companies. In 2010, the 11 companies providing data reported securing 967 the highest of the sector. Despite this, these companies received only $1.2m contrasting sharply with visual arts companies.

Theatre Total private sector income for the 32 theatre companies was $2.3m an increase of $506k on 2009 levels16. Seventeen companies reported earning $733k more in 2010 compared to 2009. Thirteen companies however reported a $227k decrease. Theatre companies, along with dance and literature companies, earn substantially less on average in private sector income when compared to cross-artform, music and particularly visual arts companies (ref exhibit M). Theatre companies reported an increase in corporate sponsorship income of $267k in 2010. This increase was primarily due to one company including in-kind income in their financial data for the first time.

The 2008 result for theatre companies was unusually high due to a one-off fundraising campaign to purchase a building. Consequently only analysis against 2009 figures is presented.

Visual arts Private sector income is dominated by the results of visual arts companies. In 2010, the 40 participating companies received $14.9m17 in private sector income making up 60 percent of the entire sector. While the amount raised is partially due to the number of companies, average results for visual arts companies are also substantially greater (ref exhibit M). The average results are substantially greater due to three companies achieving significantly higher results in this area than any other key organisation. Analysing the underlying data reveals that five companies drive the overall result for this artform. In 2010, these companies18 made up 86.5 percent of total income for the visual arts. Much of the reported increase in visual arts private sector income stemmed from increases in corporate sponsorship. Visual arts companies have increased revenue from this source by $5.9m in 2009 however it is important to note that four companies make up 98.3 percent of this increase. Private giving has declined. The 37 visual arts companies reported receiving $302k less in 2010 compared to 2009. This decline was relatively widespread with 28 of the 37 companies reporting reduced earnings or no change.

Excluding the $35.8m capital fundraising campaign income generated by the MCA (ref Appendix 1). It is important to note that one of these companies reported a significant increase in their earnings in 2010 due to the inclusion of very substantial in-kind support.

Analysis by company size


The following table provides a summary of total private sector income in 2010 by company size:

Large (14) $9.8 $0.2 $4.0

Medium (52) $2.4 $0.3 $4.8

Small (66) $1.4 $0.1 $1.9

Large Total private sector income in 2010 for the 14 large companies was $14m an increase of $5.6m compared to 2009 and $5.2m on 2008 results. This reported increase was primarily due to the results of three companies. These three companies each reported increases in excess of $1.5m. Two companies reported a substantial increase in in-kind support and one company secured significant corporate sponsorship support. In 2010 total corporate sponsorship for large companies was $9.6m up $5.7m on 2009 results and $4.8m on 2008 levels. The increase was due primarily to the three companies reported above. Of the remaining 11 companies, four companies reported earning less in 2010 compared to 2009, four reported minimal/no change and three companies increased earnings. Large companies received $14k less from private giving in 2010 compared to 2009. The underlying data suggests that this may be due to regular donors of the MCA migrating to their capital fundraising campaign in 2010. Ignoring the impact of the MCA reveals that five large companies reported received $1.1m more in 2010 compared to 2009 and eight companies received $161k less. Large companies received proportionally less from foundations and trusts compared to medium and small companies. Large companies reported that foundation and trust revenue made up 34.6 percent of total private giving in contrast with medium (60.7 percent) and small (69.5 percent) companies.

22

Medium Total private sector income in 2010 for the 52 medium companies was $7.9m an increase of $0.9m compared to 2009 but just $167k on 2008 results. This reported decrease in the 2009 result was primarily due to the private giving result of a single company19. Medium companies have increased corporate sponsorship earnings by $566k on 2009 results with much of this increase due to one company including in-kind sponsorship in 2010 for the first time. The 25 medium companies that provided data reported attracting 223 corporate sponsors in 2010. Despite this relatively high number, only $1.7m in corporate sponsorship income was generated.

Medium companies received $5.1m in private giving in 2010 up $226k on 2009, but down $983k on 2008 results. It is important to note that the relatively modest increase ($226k) in 2009 masks a more turbulent outcome present in the underlying data. Of the 52 medium companies, 28 companies collectively reported a decrease of $1.1m in private sector support in 2010 compared to 2009. Only 19 companies secured more private sector support over the same period. Small Total private sector income in 2010 for the 66 small companies was $3.1m an increase of $364k compared to 2009 and $615k on 2008 results. In 2010, of the 66 small companies, only 34 reported securing any corporate sponsorship at all. Of this, only seven companies reported earning more than $50k. From the table above, small companies, like medium companies, are working extremely hard to secure sponsorships for relatively little gain. In 2010, small companies received just $1.6m in private giving. Small companies are marginally more successful in securing private giving compared to corporate sponsorship. In 2010, 44 companies received some form of private giving, with only 13 of these companies reported receiving amounts over $50k.

What proportion of total turnover is made up of private sector support?


Turnover is the total income generated by a company in a given year. An increase in the proportion of private sector income to turnover implies two things: 1. An increased success rate in securing private sector support. 2. An increased reliance on private sector income to meet operational needs. In 2010, private sector income made up 15.4 percent of total turnover for key organisations. In 2009, private sector income made up 12.2 percent, down from the 2008 levels of 13.6 percent.

What proportion of total turnover by states and territories is made up of private sector support?
Turnover is the total income generated by a company in a given year. An increase in the proportion of private sector income to turnover implies two things: 1. An increased success rate in securing private sector support. 2. An increased reliance on private sector income to meet operational needs. In 2010 private sector income made up 15 percent of total turnover for the sector (ref exhibit 4). Analysing this data by states and territories (ref exhibit 8) reveals that NSW and WA companies report a markedly higher proportion of private sector income to turnover.

West Australian companies received, on average, the highest level of private sector income in 2010. NSW companies also reported relatively high levels of average earnings, but for the first time fell short of the WA result in 2010. SA companies reported a surge in average earnings in 2010 however this result was due to reported in-kind earnings from a single company. Victorian companies have reported the most significant decline in average earnings falling from $151k in 2008 to $93k in 2010.

Visual arts companies receive on average significantly more from private sector income compared to all other artforms. This average is substantially greater due to three companies achieving significantly higher results in this area than any other key organization. Theatre companies reported a significant drop in average private sector income in 2009. The very modest increase in 2010 was not sufficient to return these companies back to levels reported in 2008.

West Australian companies receive on average the greatest amount of corporate sponsorship. In 2010, WA companies reported generating an average of $308k in corporate sponsorship per company. NSW companies reported the next highest average at $147k. While SA companies have reported a substantial jump, the result is affected by a jump in in-kind support of a single company. The remaining states and territories report similar levels of average corporate sponsorship, ranging from $68k for companies from the ACT to $20k for Tasmanian companies. Victorian companies reported an average of $34k

In 2008 visual arts companies reported the highest level of earnings from corporate sponsorship compared to all other artforms. In 2010, they consolidated their position and reported a total of $9.9m in income from this source 5.7 times greater than music companies the next highest earner. Music companies have more than doubled income from this source and in 2010 reported receiving $1.7m up $899k since 2008.

Analysing by artform, how much has each company on average received as corporate sponsorship from 20082010?
Visual arts companies receive more corporate sponsorship on average than any other artform. As mentioned already these average results are substantially greater due to three visual arts companies achieving significantly higher results in this area than any other key organization. While visual arts companies and music companies reported comparable levels in 2009, visual arts companies have significantly increased reported earnings in 2010 reporting any average of $247k per company. All other artforms report similar average earnings. In 2010 dance companies received on average $35k, theatre companies $29k, cross-artform $20k and literature companies $18k.

In-kind corporate sponsorship by states and territories


Analysing the data by states and territories, how much corporate sponsorship is received in the form of in-kind support?
The overall increase in in-kind support in 2010 is due to the results of SA and NSW companies. The SA result is due to one organisation reporting a very significant increase in in-kind support. NSW results are affected by several companies. While not the only factor, it is however important to note that the NSW result is partially affected by the two-year cyclical operations of the Biennale of Sydney.

Analysing the data at a more detailed level (ref exhibit 36) reveals that both the number of cash and in-kind sponsorships have increased since 2008, however income levels for cash sponsorships have fallen. This implies that key organisations are working harder to attract cash corporate sponsorships income.

Analysing by states and territories, how many corporate sponsorships were secured in 2010?
Victorian companies reported the highest number of corporate sponsorships in 2010 (150), despite the relatively low level of income generated from this source ($0.8m). In contrast, companies from NSW attracted five fewer sponsorships (145) than Victoria, however were able to generated $4.9m in corporate sponsorship income. The data implies a greater focus or effectiveness in securing this type of revenue by companies from NSW compared to Victoria (and Queensland).

What is the average size of a corporate sponsorship by states and territories, and has this changed since 2008?
The average size of a corporate sponsorship is calculated with reference to the total corporate sponsorship income received and the number of corporate sponsorships attracted from each state and territory. By averaging this across the number of companies in each state/territory, a very general indication the average size of a corporate sponsorship is provided.

NSW companies have reported receiving significantly higher average corporate sponsorship in both 2008 and 2010. These results are partially affected by the twoyear operational cycle of the Biennale of Sydney. Queensland and Victorian companies have consistently reported the lowest average corporate sponsorship amount from 20082010. This result is due to the high number of corporate sponsorships attracted by the reporting companies compared to the income attracted.

How much private giving analysed by states and territories has been received by key organisations since 2008?
In 2010, companies residing in NSW received $6.2m in private giving the largest amount of all states and territories. Victorian companies reported receiving $1.6m from this source, SA companies, $0.8m, Queensland and Northern Territory companies, $0.7m each and ACT and Tasmanian companies each reported $0.1m. Companies from Western Australia reported generating $0.5m contrasting with their corporate sponsorship results.

Most states and territories have reported an increase in income from private giving when comparing 2010 results to 2008. Victorian companies however have reported a substantial $1.8m or 52.7 percent decline. Analysis of the underlying data reveals that this fall is due to a single organisation24. If the impact of this organisation is removed, Victorian companies results fall more in line with the rest of the sector.

In 2010, companies from NSW reported receiving an average of $183k in private giving substantially more than all other states. Companies from the Northern Territory reported the next highest level at an average of $75k per company. While Victorian companies have reported a significant fall in earnings from $119k in 2008 to $56k in 2010, the 2008 figure is affected by the results of a single company.

Since 2008, literature and dance companies have increased private giving at the greatest rate (160.9 and 116.23 percent respectively). While these increases reflect strong growth, it is important to note that both these artforms reported relatively low levels of earning in 2008. Cross-artform companies have reported the largest increase in dollar terms $716k, representing a 38.7 percent increase on 2008. Theatre companies have reported a substantial 65.2 percent or $2.4m fall in income from this source. This result is partially affected by a single company25. If the impact of this organisation is removed, theatre companies still report a decline in earnings from this source the only artform to do so.

Analysing by artform, how much has each company on average received as private giving from 20082010?
The data in exhibit 49 differs from other average analysis (eg exhibits 46 & 52) as the differentiation of earnings is less pronounced. While visual arts companies reported receiving the largest average amount from private giving in 2010, they did not earn significantly more than cross-artform and music companies. Dance companies however have reported earning substantially less from this source compared to other artforms.

Foundations and trusts by states and territories


Analysing the data by states and territories, how much private giving is received from foundations and trusts?
The reported increase in foundations and trust support is due to the results from NSW companies. It is interesting to note the proportion of private giving received from foundations and trusts compared to all other donations. Most states and territories report that the majority of private giving is received from foundation and trusts. NSW, SA and ACT companies however derive more private giving income from other sources.

Foundations and trusts by artform


Analysing the data by artform, how much private giving is received from foundations and trusts?
Music companies report receiving proportionally less from foundations and trusts compared to other artforms. These companies reported that foundations and trusts provided 21.5 percent of their total private giving in 2010. This contrasts with the results of cross-artform (84.6 percent), literature (72.4 percent), dance (70.8 percent) and theatre companies (50.2 percent). Visual arts companies also reported a relatively low proportion of income from this source at 41.4 percent.

Has the number of private givings increased or decreased since 2008?


The responding 68 key organisations have reported an increase in the number of private givings received from 2008 to 2010. In 2010, these companies reported 2,677.3 incidents of private giving, up from 2,162.3 in 2009 and 2,205 in 2008.

Analysing the data at a more detailed level (ref exhibit 54) reveals that while the number of private givings has increased since 2008, income levels have fallen. This implies that key organisations are working harder to attract private giving.

Analysing by states and territories, how many private givings were secured in 2010?
Unlike the data for corporate sponsorship, each state and territory has generally reported the number of private giving in line with the amount of income raise. NSW companies for example have reported both the highest number of private givings (1,698) and the highest amount of private giving income received ($4.4m).

What is the average size of a private giving by states and territories, and has this changed since 2008?
The average size of a private giving is calculated with reference to the total private giving income received and the number of private givings attracted from each state and territory. By averaging this across the number of companies in each state/territory, a very general indication the average size of a private giving is provided.

In general all states and territories report comparable amounts in average private giving for 2010. The very sharp decrease in the average amount reported by NT companies is due to a sharp rise in the number of private givings reported by a single organisation.

Analysing by artform, how many private givings were secured in 2010?


Music companies reported the highest number of private givings of the sector at 967. Despite this number, these companies reported receiving just $1.2m in private giving income. A similar result was reported for theatre companies, with 703 private givings delivering $1.1m in income. In contrast, visual arts companies secured 658 private givings and raised $4.2m.

The average size of a private giving is calculated with reference to the total private giving income received and the number of private givings attracted for each artform. By averaging this across the number of companies in each artform, a very general indication the average size of a private giving is provided.

Visual arts companies have reported receiving significantly higher average private giving throughout the review period. In 2010, these companies averaged $6.4k per sponsorship more than any other artform. In contrast dance, music and theatre companies appear to be finding it difficult to attract large private givings. In 2010 these companies reported attracting an average private giving of between $1.2k and $1.5k, approximately one fifth of the visual arts companies.

Analysing by company size, how many private givings were secured in 2010?
Medium sized key organisations attracted the greatest number of private givings in 2010 at 1,364. Despite this relatively high number, only $2.3m in private giving income was received. A similar picture emerges for small companies with 545 private givings delivering just $1m in income. In contrast, large companies attracted the smallest number of private givings at 768.3, but generated $3.9m.

Large key organisations have reported receiving higher average private giving throughout the review period. In 2010, these companies averaged $5.1k per private giving slightly down on 2008 and 2009 levels. Medium and small companies receive a similar average amount, with both categories reporting a relatively sharp fall in the average size of each private giving across the 2008 to 2010 period.

Events and other fundraising activities


Events and other fundraising activities all key organisations
Relatively little information was provided by participating companies in relation to events and other fundraising activities. Of the 132 companies examined, only 29 companies reported undertaking this type of fundraising in 2010. Due to the relatively small data pool, only top level analysis is provided in this section.

How much is generated from events and other fundraising activities?


Net income generated from events and other fundraising activities makes up less than 3 percent of total private sector income. Since 2008 it has increased very modestly off a low base.
