BOSTON BALLET INC

What they do
The Heart of Boston Ballet is The Human Experience. Through Our Living and Breathing Art, We Forge Human Connections-between Artist and Attendee, Teacher and Trainee, Friend and Newcomer, Ones Outer and Inner Self. Dance History is Human History, Full of Innate Beauty, Generational Memory, and Contradictions. We Share Many Characteristics That Define Our City, As Global Leaders of Innovation With A Rich Heritage and Diverse Culture. But Bostons History is Not Perfect-and Neither is The History of Ballet. In Order to Heal As A Community, We Must Unite Against Inequality, Inequity, and Exclusivity. We Are Bostons Ballet. We Believe In The Transformative Power of Dance to Inspire Positive Change In Our Community and Beyond. We Step Toward The Future, Where Our Art Breaks Down Barriers, Opens Minds, Strengthens Our Connections to Each Other, and is Shared More Widely With All. Because The Future of Dance is The Future of Humanity.Together, We Move-forward and Farther-as Bostons Ballet.

Money made simple

- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $816,563 for MIKKO P NISSINEN (ARTISTIC DIRECTOR). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.
Has the pattern changed?
Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
Money in and money out
Reported spending amounts
Mission work means the Form 990 category called program services. These are reported accounting categories—not an independent measurement of results.
