How much money does Shen
Yun make?
As a non-profit
performing arts company, Shen Yun has no investors, corporate backers, or
owners that profit from its performances and success. Shen Yun exists for its
mission of cultural preservation and renewal, and so, as a non-profit, all
proceeds of ticket sales and merchandise are reinvested into the company to
support its continued operations and growth—which, as anyone familiar with the
company might imagine, are sizable. As Shen Yun puts on an all-new production
each year and performs it in front of over a million people worldwide, the
budget required for its choreographers, composers, musicians, dancers, wardrobe
department, graphics team, travel, and so on are by no means small. While it’s a massive undertaking, everyone at Shen Yun
is dedicated to the company’s mission and finds the challenges of performing at
this level meaningful and deeply rewarding.
