The 2025 Revenue Data Byte marks DDP’s first in-depth analysis of nonprofit revenue structures, utilizing IRS Form 990 data from FY2019 to FY2024 to examine how the Largest 150 U.S. ballet and classically based professional companies earn income. Understanding how nonprofit ballet companies generate and structure their revenue sheds light on how these companies maintain sustainability and ultimately reveals greater insight into the ballet industry’s overall operation. The Largest 150 companies are ranked in descending order based on the size of their annual revenue for FY2023 and are divided into three categories: the Largest 50 (#1-50), the Next 50 (#51-100), and the Additional 50 (#101-150) companies for further analysis.
