<br /> •
<br /> Nonprofit arts and culture organizations are active contributors to their business community. They are employers,
<br /> producers,and consumers. They are members of the Chamber of Commerce as well as key partners in the
<br /> marketing and promotion of their cities,regions,and states. Spending by nonprofit arts and cultural
<br /> organizations totaled $16 million in Indian River County during fiscal year 2015. This spending is far-
<br /> reaching: organizations pay employees,purchase supplies, contract for services,and acquire assets within their
<br /> community. These actions, in turn,support jobs,generate household income,and generate revenue to local and
<br /> state governments.
<br /> Indian River County's nonprofit arts and cultural organizations provide rewarding employment for more than just
<br /> administrators,artists, curators,choreographers,and musicians. They also employ financial staff, facility
<br /> managers,and salespeople. In addition,the spending by these organizations directly supports a wide array of other
<br /> occupations spanning many industries that provide their goods and services(e.g.,accounting,construction,event
<br /> planning, legal, logistics,printing,and technology).
