Cultural Data

This research examines the relationship between crowdfunding campaigns by nonprofit performing arts organizations and their overall fundraising portfolio. Using a dataset compiled from the CrowdBerkeley Initiative and the Cultural Data Project, we find an important link between campaign success and organization age. For young organizations, crowdfunding success attracts funding in the subsequent year, while a failed campaign significantly hampers the organization’s ability to raise funds, suggesting that crowdfunding acts as a legitimating signal. In contrast, older organizations appear to be insulated from the negative effects of a failed campaign. In addition, higher amounts raised in the campaign are associated with a substitution or “crowding out” effect for other types of funding for young organizations, but this effect reverses for older organizations. This suggests that crowdfunding should not only be considered a tool for younger organizations, but also holds promise for established organizations.

Different Types

The institutional forms of cooperative, profit-oriented (private) and government subsidized non-profit performing arts companies affect the behavior of their management systematically. Thus, the managers of profit-oriented theaters, operas, and orchestras tend to let plays run longer, to have a smaller number of new productions and a more narrow repertoire than do public companies. The number of rehearsals will, ceteris paribus, be smaller, and more plays suiting the preferences of the general public will be offered. These propositions are derived using the economic model of behavior looking also on the incentive effects of different types of government subsidies.
