Seattle’s Capitol Hill Arts Center is a classic non-profit theatre that has chosen not to run as a non-profit. “CHAC, pronounced ‘shack,’ is for-profit, meaning it gets no public and private donations. CHAC survives on ticket sales, building rentals and concessions. Yet CHAC also is anti-commercial and has no intention of using the tools designed to protect nonprofits from having to bow to the bottom line – government grants and fund-raising campaigns.”
